Fry Pie Factory, based in Lancaster, Ohio, has issued a voluntary recall of its 5 ounce Pepperoni Rolls due to two serious food safety concerns: misbranding involving an undeclared milk allergen and a refrigeration process deviation that may allow pathogenic bacterial growth. The recalled products were distributed across Ohio and parts of West Virginia through convenience stores, grocery stores, and gas stations. No illnesses have been reported at this time.

What Products Are Being Recalled?
The following product is subject to this voluntary recall:
- Product: Fry Pie Factory Pepperoni Rolls, 5 oz
- Brand: Fry Pie Factory
- Distribution Area: Ohio and parts of West Virginia
- Distribution Channels: Convenience stores, grocery stores, and gas stations
Consumers who purchased these Pepperoni Rolls from any of these retail locations should check their purchases immediately and take the appropriate steps outlined below.
Why Was This Recall Issued?
The recall was initiated for two distinct reasons. First, the product labels do not declare milk as an ingredient, despite milk being present in the recipe. Milk is a major food allergen recognized under federal labeling law, and its absence from the label constitutes misbranding under FDA regulations.

Second, the company identified a process deviation related to refrigeration. The Pepperoni Rolls were not stored, distributed, or sold at appropriate temperatures. Inadequate temperature control during storage and distribution can allow pathogenic microorganisms to grow to unsafe levels, creating a risk of food-borne illness for all consumers who eat the product, not only those with milk allergies.
Who Is Affected?
This recall affects two distinct groups of consumers:
- Individuals with milk allergies or sensitivities: Consumers who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product, because milk is not disclosed on the label.
- General consumers: Anyone who purchased and consumed these Pepperoni Rolls may be at risk of food-borne illness due to the refrigeration process deviation, which may have allowed pathogenic growth regardless of allergen status.
The recalled products were sold in Ohio and parts of West Virginia. If you purchased Fry Pie Factory 5 oz Pepperoni Rolls from any convenience store, grocery store, or gas station in these regions, you should act immediately.
What Should You Do?
- Stop consuming the recalled Fry Pie Factory Pepperoni Rolls, 5 oz, immediately.
- Discard the product or return it to Fry Pie Factory for a full refund.
- Monitor your health: If you or a family member experiences signs of an allergic reaction — such as hives, swelling, difficulty breathing, or anaphylaxis — or symptoms of food-borne illness such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or fever, contact a healthcare provider immediately.
- Contact the company with questions by reaching Mark Thompson at 405-990-4657.
- In case of a severe allergic reaction or medical emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
