Saint Francis Apizza LLC of Cincinnati, Ohio, is voluntarily recalling all four varieties of its frozen pizzas after discovering the product labels do not declare soybean oil and soy lecithin — two soy-derived ingredients that must be listed as allergens under federal law. The recall was announced October 1, 2026. No illnesses have been reported. The recalled pizzas were sold exclusively at specialty markets, delis, and cheese shops in the Cincinnati, Dayton, and northern Kentucky area, as well as online at cincyfavorites.com.
What’s Being Recalled?
All four Saint Francis Apizza frozen pizza varieties are included: Pepperoni, Plain Cheese, Supreme, and Mushroom and Onion. The products were sold at the following locations: ETC Produce and Provisions (two Cincinnati locations), Daylily Deli, Harvest Market (Milford, OH), Boards and Beez, Madison’s at Findlay Market, Urban Stead Cheese, The Farm on Central (Carlisle, OH), Tony and Pete’s (Dayton, OH), Taste Cellar and Pantry (Fort Thomas, KY), Golden Gelato (Covington, KY), and online at cincyfavorites.com.
Why Was This Product Recalled?
The labels on the recalled pizzas do not list soybean oil and soy lecithin as sub-ingredients despite both being present in the product. Soy is one of the nine major food allergens under federal law, and soy lecithin in particular is a widely used additive that soy-sensitive consumers must actively avoid. For consumers with soy allergies, consuming undeclared soy ingredients can trigger reactions ranging from hives and digestive distress to severe anaphylaxis requiring emergency care.
What Should You Do?
If you have a soy allergy and purchased any Saint Francis Apizza frozen pizza at any of the listed locations or through cincyfavorites.com, do not eat the product. Discard it or return it to Saint Francis Apizza for a full refund. Contact Alex Plattner at 971-221-7086 with questions.
