The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety & Inspection Service received a consumer complaint indicating that the product was mislabeled and the box actually contained a frozen three-meat pizza.

The mislabeled frozen pizza also had "textured soy protein" in its ingredients, which could be a potential allergen, but was not indicated or included on the label.

There haven't been any reports of illnesses caused by the product, but if you indeed have this in your freezer and you have someone in your home with sensitivities to these ingredients, the pizzas should be thrown away or returned to where you purchased them.

If you have a food safety question, anytime, you can call the toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854).
