Champion Foods LLC, located in New Boston, Michigan, owns Motor City Pizza Co. Certain batches of 5 Cheese Bread are being recalled because they may be contaminated with Salmonella. This action follows California Dairies Inc.’s recall of baby formula due to concerns about potential salmonella contamination.
The recalled powdered milk was supplied to a third-party manufacturer that supplies seasoning used in five cheese sauce blends.
There are concerns that consumers may have recalled bread at home, as it has a long shelf life until April 2027.
To date, neither Champion Foods LLC nor its suppliers have received any reports of illness or injury related to this product.
Routine testing conducted by the seasoning mix manufacturer prior to use in the production of the five-cheese bread resulted in batches of the seasoning testing negative for salmonella.
The five affected cheese bread lots were distributed and sold nationwide at retailers including Costco, Walmart, Giant Landover, Grocery Outlet, Jewel, Kroger, Schnucks, Target, C&S, Bozzuto’s, Brookshire Grocery, Meijer, Food City, KeHe, Lipari, Publix, Merchants Dis Hickory, PDI/Hy-Vee, River Valley, SpartanNash, Supervalu and UNFI.

About salmonella infection
Food contaminated with salmonella typically does not look, smell or taste spoiled. Anyone can get sick from a salmonella infection. Infants, young children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk for serious illness because their immune systems are weaker.
Anyone who consumes the recalled product and develops symptoms of salmonella infection should seek medical attention. Diagnosing salmonellosis requires special testing, so sick people should tell their doctors about possible exposure to salmonella. Salmonella infection symptoms can be similar to other illnesses and often lead to misdiagnosis.
Symptoms of salmonella infection may include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. Otherwise healthy adults usually become sick for 4 to 7 days. However, in some cases, diarrhea may be so severe that hospitalization may be necessary.
People with weakened immune systems, such as older adults, children, pregnant women, and cancer patients, are more likely to develop serious and sometimes life-threatening conditions.
Some people become infected without feeling sick or showing any symptoms. However, they can still spread the infection to other people.
