Screamin’ Sicilian Holy Pepperoni is also on the lower end calorie-wise, with 330 cals per serving. This pizza has the lowest sodium by a significant margin, and the lowest carbs and sugar, which indicates the crust and sauce are balanced with the cheese and toppings.

Home Run Inn Pepperoni Frozen Pizza is higher in calories and saturated fat than some other options, but has decent fiber from the crust. Sodium is good, and so is protein.

RED BARON® Brick Oven Pepperoni Pizza ties for lowest calories with 330 cals per serving. This option contains moderate sodium levels and reasonable carbs, and slighter higher sugar than the rest.

Protein: 14 g
DiGiorno Rising Crust Ultimate Pepperoni with Cheese has the lowest saturated fat on the list, and contains moderate calories and sodium. The crust is not ultraprocessed, which is a bonus, but it is very high in carbs.

Tombstone Pepperoni Pizza has high carbs, and moderate sodium. The calorie count is not excessive, which is a plus.

Totino’s Pepperoni Party Pizza has the lowest protein from all the pizzas listed, just 9 g per serving, which indicates much less actual cheese and meat. This factor combined with the high carb count means there is more crust, and this pizza is overall lower in nutrition compared to the rest.

Torn packaging usually means someone was rough unpacking it, and it was thrown around a lot before finally making it to the supermarket freezer. Chances are if the packaging is severely messed up, the pizza itself will probably be broken, which isn’t a total disaster but definitely an annoyance when trying to cook it.

Misshapen packaging could just be carelessness, but it could also mean there’s some sort of bacterial growth going on inside. Typically this means the bacteria are releasing gas. “If the food is days or even weeks beyond the printed expiration date and the package is bloated in a way that is not supposed to be in its normal and original packaging, it is always a good idea to just discard such food for safety reasons,” says Wei Zhang, professor of food science and food safety specialist at the Illinois Institute of Technology.

Old and faded labels indicate food that’s been sitting there for a while—always check the sell-by date, and if you can’t see one, don’t buy that pizza. “Manufacturers provide dating to help consumers and retailers decide when food is of best quality. Except for infant formula, dates are not an indicator of the product’s safety and are not required by Federal law,” the USDA says.

Frozen packaging should be cold to the touch and firm, and soft packaging can indicate something was thawed and reached the right temperature yet. “Discard foods that have been warmer than 40 °F for more than 2 hours. Discard any foods that have been contaminated by raw meat juices. Dispose of soft or melted ice cream for quality’s sake,” the USDA says.

One of the major red flags any shopper should look out for when buying frozen pizza (or any frozen goods) is signs of temperature fluctuations. If you see ice crystals on the inside of a frozen pizza box, be careful. This is a sign the pizza has been thawed and refrozen, which causes the large crystals to form. If you don’t know how long the food was thawed for or how many times, it could be a food safety issue and simply not worth the risk.

]]>If you’re anything like me, you might keep some items in the freezer for months before they are used, so it’s important to double check if you have the following five items, and throw them away immediately. For full details, including labels and codes, please check the FDA’s updates.

Almost 10 million pounds of Trader Joe’s Vegetable Fried Rice is being recalled for contamination from foreign objects, namely glass varying in size from 1-3cm long and 2-4mm wide. These products were distributed in Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

Trader Joe’s first recalled the following products, which are made by Ajinomoto under the TJ’s name. If you have them, contact the store and throw them out.
Chicken Fried Rice – Best By Dates 03/04/2026 through 02/10/2027
Vegetable Fried Rice – Best By Dates 02/28/2026 through 11/19/2026

The recall also impacts Kroger Chicken Fried Rice and Kroger Vegetable Fried Rice, which are also made by Ajinomoto Foods and could contain glass.

Kroger Vegetable Fried Rice (22 oz)
UPC: 11110-04162
All Codes, Purchased between 3/10/2025 and 3/4/2026

Tai Pei Chicken Fried Rice is also one of the brands being recalled for possible glass contamination. “The problem was discovered when the establishment notified FSIS that it received multiple consumer complaints involving glass found in product. Upon further investigation, the establishment determined that a vegetable source ingredient, specifically carrots, was the likely source of the glass contamination, which also impacted the additional products subject to this expanded recall,” says the FSIS.

Ajinomoto Fried Rice Authentic Japanese Style is also being recalled, one of the brands actually using the Ajinomoto label directly. Check here for product codes. “FSIS is concerned that some product may be in retailers’ or consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase,” says the FSIS.
