Ohio-Kentucky Recall Hits Saint Francis Apizza Frozen Pizzas Over Soy 2026

Saint Francis Apizza LLC of Cincinnati, Ohio, has voluntarily recalled its frozen pizzas because the labels fail to declare soy, a recognized allergen, including the soybean oil and soy lecithin the products contain. The company announced the recall on October 1, 2026, and the FDA posted the notice on October 3, 2026.

If you bought a frozen pizza from a local Ohio or Kentucky retailer or from the company’s online store, check your freezer before you serve it. The recall matters most to anyone with a soy allergy or severe soy sensitivity, because the ingredient list on the package does not warn them.

Recalled Products at a Glance

The recall covers frozen pizzas sold under the Saint Francis brand in four varieties:

• Pepperoni frozen pizza
• Plain Cheese frozen pizza
• Supreme frozen pizza
• Mushroom and Onion frozen pizza

The company’s announcement does not list UPC codes, lot numbers, best-by dates, or the number of units affected. Because of that, consumers should treat every Saint Francis frozen pizza in these four varieties as part of the recall.

What Went Wrong?

The company said the products are misbranded. The labels leave out the sub-ingredients that contain soy, namely soybean oil and soy lecithin. Under U.S. labeling rules, soy must be clearly declared so that people who avoid it can spot it on the package. Here the information was missing, so a shopper reading the label would have no indication that soy is present.

No illnesses have been reported in connection with the recalled pizzas. The company stressed, however, that people with an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy risk a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they eat them.

Where Were These Products Sold?

The pizzas were sold by Saint Francis Apizza LLC at retail locations in southwestern Ohio and northern Kentucky, and online. The announcement names these outlets:

• ETC Produce and Provisions, 1801 Race St Unit 149, Cincinnati, OH 45202

Steps Consumers Should Take

The company’s instructions are simple. All recalled products should be discarded or returned to Saint Francis Apizza LLC for a full refund. If you have a soy allergy or severe soy sensitivity, do not eat the pizza. Even if you do not have an allergy, check the freezer for any pizza in the four varieties above, because other people in your household may be affected.

People who have already eaten one of the pizzas and notice signs or symptoms of an allergic reaction should contact a physician immediately, as the company advises. Customers with questions or concerns can call Alex Plattner at 971.221.7086.

From the Agency

The FDA published the notice as a company announcement. Under its standard practice, when a company announces a recall, market withdrawal, or safety alert, the agency posts that announcement as a public service, and it does not endorse either the company or the product.

In its announcement, Saint Francis Apizza LLC said the recall was issued because of the missing soy declaration and thanked customers for their cooperation. The company confirmed there have been no reports of illness so far.

Consumers who believe they have had a reaction to an FDA-regulated product can report the problem through the agency’s Report a Product Problem page. Because the recalled pizzas were sold through a limited group of local outlets and one online store, shoppers in the Cincinnati, Dayton, and northern Kentucky areas are the most likely to be affected.
