Champion Foods LLC is voluntarily recalling certain batches of Motor City Pizza Co. 5 Cheese Bread due to possible salmonella contamination, the company announced May 29.
A salmonella recall issued by California Dairies, Inc. for its dry milk powder set off the chain of events leading to this action. The milk powder made its way into a seasoning blend produced by an outside manufacturer, which in turn is used in the 5 Cheese Bread. Before that seasoning blend entered production, the manufacturer ran routine salmonella tests — all of which came back negative. Champion Foods nevertheless moved forward with the recall as a precautionary measure.
No illnesses or injuries related to the products have been reported to Champion Foods or its suppliers, the company said.
Both single-pack and two-pack versions of the 5 Cheese Bread are affected. UPC codes are 8 70375 00511 1 for the single-pack and 8 70375 00509 8 for the two-pack. To find the sell-by date, look for black text located within the cheese bread graphic on the front of the package. Among the sell-by dates tied to the single-pack recall are 2/4/2027 and 2/5/2027, with additional dates extending into spring 2027, per Food Poisoning Bulletin. For the two-pack, affected sell-by dates begin as early as 2/3/2027 and 2/4/2027, with more dates listed beyond those.
