Annie’s recalls frozen pizza that may have metal fragments in dough
But are those metal filings organic?
Annie’s Inc., which specializes in natural and organic foods, is recalling all varieties of its Rising Crust frozen pizza because pieces of metal wire might be in the products.

Here are the varieties being recalled:
