ORLANDO, Florida – Walmart customers nationwide are being warned to inspect their freezers after the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued and expanded a public health alert for certain frozen meat and poultry products — including popular Great Value brand pizzas — that may contain a contaminated dry milk powder ingredient linked to possible Salmonella. The alert was first published on April 30, 2026 and expanded on May 1 to include additional downstream products. It is not classified as a full Class I recall in every instance but serves as a strong public health advisory. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the affected items as of the latest updates.

Full product details, label photos, and the complete list of affected items are available directly from the official FSIS public health alert page. What You Should Do If you have any of these products in your freezer: Do not eat them. Throw the pizzas away or return them to your local Walmart for a full refund. Wash your hands, any surfaces, and utensils that may have come into contact with the products. For questions, contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) or email MPHotline@usda.gov. Always verify the latest information directly on the FSIS website. Salmonella Symptoms and Risks Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, with symptoms usually appearing 6 hours to 6 days after eating contaminated food and lasting 4–7 days. Common symptoms include diarrhea (sometimes bloody), stomach cramps, fever, nausea, vomiting, or headache. Most healthy people recover without treatment, but infants, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk for severe illness. Seek medical care if symptoms are serious. This public health alert also covers some Aldi Mama Cozzi’s breakfast pizzas and other items made with the same dry milk powder, but the Walmart-specific products highlighted above are the Great Value Chicken Bacon Ranch varieties.
