Champion Foods in New Boston has issued a voluntary recall of some batches of Motor City Pizza Co. “5 Cheese Bread” due to possible salmonella contamination, the company announced Friday.
The warning stems from an associated recall of California Dairies, Inc. milk powder, which the company says was supplied to Champion Foods to use in the seasoning blend for the sauce of the cheese bread through a third-party manufacturer.

The company says no injuries or illness have been reported as a result of the possible exposure, and routine testing of the seasoning blend has shown no positive tests for salmonella.
Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems, as well as fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain in others.
Batches of the Motor City Pizza Co. cheese bread included in the recall were distributed and sold nationwide at various retailers, including Costco, Walmart, Kroger, Target, Meijer, Giant Landover, Grocery Outlet, Jewel, Schnucks, C&S, Bozzuto’s, Brookshire Grocery, Food City, KeHe, Lipari, Publix, Merchants Dis Hickory, PDI/Hy-Vee, River Valley, SpartanNash, Supervalu, and UNFI.
