Coles recalls four pizza flavours over incorrect expiry date
- Replies 1
You can't just whip up a pizza. It takes time, and there's a process to it. If you want to make a really good pizza, you have to be patient.
But in today's world, people are always on the go and they don't always have the time to wait around for a pizza to be made fresh. That's why ready-to-eat pizza has become so popular.
We mean, pizza is delicious and it's a quick and easy meal to grab when you're on the run. So, it can't be helped that many people make these items a staple whenever they shop for their groceries.
However, if you're a fan of ready-to-cook pizzas, we've got some news for you...
Due to a labelling error, four flavours of a ready-to-cook pizza have been urgently recalled from Coles stores across Australia.

The flavours affected by the recall include Premium Salami Pizza, Premium Margherita Pizza, Premium Garlic Pizza and Premium Pomodoro Pizza.
Additionally, only the batch with a use-by date of October 11, 2023, will be pulled out from the shelves.
Food Standards Australia (FSA) explained that the use-by date is actually set for October 11, 2022, and consuming it after that date could cause illness.
Customers are advised to either consume the product before it expires or return it to the place of purchase for a full cash refund.
FSA also noted that the product is currently safe to eat as long as it's not past its expiration date.
The statement read: 'The recall is due to non-compliant labelling (incorrect USE BY date). Printed USE BY is 11/10/23. Correct USE BY is 11/10/22.'
'The food may cause illness if consumed after 11/10/22.'
When it comes to purchasing food, safety should be the priority. If you think you've purchased one of these items, we highly encourage you to check the label of the item and either consume them before October 11 or return it to the store where you purchased it.
Stay safe out there, folks!
