Why Was This Recall Issued?

Champion Foods LLC initiated this voluntary recall following a broader supply chain concern. A milk powder supplied by California Dairies, Inc. was recalled due to potential Salmonella contamination. That milk powder was provided to a third-party manufacturer, which used it to produce a seasoning blend incorporated into the 5 cheese sauce blend used in the 5 Cheese Bread products.

Champion Foods noted that routine testing conducted by the seasonings blend manufacturer prior to use in production showed that the tested seasoning batches returned negative results for Salmonella. However, the company is acting out of an abundance of caution to protect consumer safety. As of the announcement date, neither Champion Foods LLC nor its suppliers had received any reports of illness or injury related to these products.

Who Is Affected?

Consumers across the United States who purchased Motor City Pizza Co. 5 Cheese Bread — either Single Pack or 2 Pack — with the specific sell by dates listed above may be affected. The products were sold at a wide range of national and regional retailers, including Costco, Walmart, Giant Landover, Grocery Outlet, Jewel, Kroger, Schnucks, Target, C&S, Bozzuto’s, Brookshire Grocery, Meijer, Food City, KeHe, Lipari, Publix, Merchants Dis Hickory, PDI/Hy-Vee, River Valley, SpartanNash, Supervalu, and UNFI.

Individuals who are most at risk from Salmonella infection include young children, elderly individuals, and those with weakened immune systems. Healthy adults can also become seriously ill from this pathogen.

Official Statement

According to the company announcement: Champion Foods LLC stated it is recalling certain batches of its 5 Cheese Bread products because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, following the California Dairies, Inc. milk powder recall. The company emphasized that routine testing showed negative Salmonella results for the seasoning batches tested, and that no illnesses or injuries have been reported.

In rare cases, infection can spread to the bloodstream and cause severe conditions such as arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis.
