M&S Pizza not suitable for freezing - eat anyway?

[randomqs]

I just got two M&S pizzas out the freezer and realised they say "not suitable for freezing"! Why would this be?? and should we still eat them?

What flavour

What's on the pizza?

Meat or veg?

I would if there was no meat on there.

They'll be absolutely fine.

Usually they only say don't freeze if it will affect the texture.

I imagine it's that one/some of the toppings don't freeze well so the texture or flavour might be altered.

The other option is that it was made with an ingredient that had already been frozen once, therefore can't be refrozen.

This happened to me with a veggie one. I cooked it anyway and it was fine.

Sometimes it’s the vegan cheese.
Or peppers / tomatoes that go a bit mushy / water-logged. But fine to eat.

Probably means it was frozen before. Cook until piping hot and I'm sure you'll be fine

One is salami and creamy mozzarella, the other is antipasti with pesto

Yeah, if in doubt burn the fuck out of it. My mum always did and we all grew up healthy.

I’d eat both without questioning this

Probs in case it’s not a nice. It I’d cook it and eat it

I've frozen tons of food that say not suitable for freezing on it and lived to tell the tale.

It might affect texture but I suspect they'll taste fine.

Are they a sourdough base by any chance? I frozen one of those once and it did absolutely ruin the base texture

@QforCucumber they are their "wood fired" ones

Oh yes-sourdough apparently

I always freeze them and cook from frozen. Have done this for years and never been ill. I think they are more picky about quality reduction from frozen.

Ah sorry, just seem it's the sourdough ones. Doubt it'll make you ill but it may spoil the quality

Of course you can eat them. Why wouldn’t you be able to?

it just means the flavour may not be as good because they were previously frozen or the recipe doesn’t stand up so well to freezing.

It means they have never put it in the freezer to see what would happen to it and they can't be bothered to pay the money to do so.

It will be fine to freeze, no different to any other pizza.

We always freeze them!
