WASHINGTON, June 25, 2010 - Great Kitchens, Inc., a Romeoville, Ill., establishment, is recalling approximately 109,800 pounds of BBQ chicken pizza products that may contain foreign materials, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

The following products are subject to recall:
  • 14-pound, 4-ounce cases of "MARKETSIDE, 16" BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA, 8-16" Pizzas," bearing case codes of "11016611," "11016621," "11016711," or "11016721."
  • 28.5-ounce "Marketside™, 16" BBQ RECIPE, Thin Crust, CHICKEN PIZZA."

Each box bears the establishment number "P-2539B" inside the USDA mark of inspection. The BBQ chicken pizza products were produced on June 15 and 16, 2010, and were shipped to distribution centers and retail stores nationwide.

The company discovered small pieces of plastic during production of the product. FSIS has not received any consumer complaints or reports of injury at this time. Anyone concerned about an injury from consumption of this product should contact a physician.

FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.

Consumers and media with questions about the recall should contact company President and CEO Gerald Coghlan at (815) 306-7171.
