The Berkeley-based maker of organic and natural pastas and pizzas has announced a voluntary recall on its entire line of frozen pizzas. According to an FDA press release, a “fine metal mesh screen” at a third-party vendor became loosened during the milling process and disintegrated into the flour that eventually became Annie’s dough, and while no illnesses or incidents have yet been reported, the manufacturer warns that small pieces of metal mesh may be out there, lurking inside frozen pizzas stamped with “best before” dates ranging from “09Jan13” and “14Sep13.” Full refunds for all pizzas potentially affected are being issued; more information is available here.
