Walmart and Aldi Frozen Pizzas Recalled Over Salmonella Risk in Cheese Supplier
CHICAGO — Major retailers Walmart and Aldi are urgently recalling several popular frozen pizza products nationwide due to potential Salmonella contamination traced to a cheese supplier, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Tuesday.

At Walmart, the recall includes Great Value Rising Crust Pepperoni Pizza (multiple best-by dates), Great Value Thin Crust Supreme Pizza, and several other private-label varieties. Aldi stores are recalling specially selected frozen pizzas in cheese, pepperoni and supreme flavors sold under the Priano and Reggano brands.
All recalled products were distributed to stores across the United States between February and early May 2026. Consumers are urged to check their freezers for any matching UPC codes and best-by dates listed on the FDA's........
