E. coli Fears Cause Pizza Recall
21 Cases Of Illness Seen In 10 States

POSTED: 4:29 pm EDT November 1, 2007

General Mills says it is recalling some frozen pizzas sold under the Totino's and Jeno's label because of possible E. coli contamination.

The company says the problem may stem from pepperoni produced at an Ohio plant. The company said state and federal authorities have been investigating 21 E. coli illnesses in 10 states.

Nine of those 21 people reported eating Totino's or Jeno's pizza with pepperoni topping at some point before becoming ill. The company said in a news release that the earliest case reported to state authorities occurred on July 20, and the latest case reported occurred on Oct. 10.

Symptoms of E. coli can include stomach cramps and diarrhea. People typically are ill for two to five days but can develop complications including kidney failure.

Products in the recall, along with their SKU product numbers, include:

Totino's Party Supreme, 42800-10700
Totino's Three Meat, 42800-10800
Totino's Pepperoni, 42800-11400
Totino's Pepperoni, 42800-92114
Totino's Classic Pepperoni, 42800-11402
Totino's Pepperoni Trio, 42800-72157
Totino's Party Combo, 42800-11600
Totino's Combo, 42800-92116
Jeno's Crisp 'n Tasty Supreme, 35300-00561
Jeno's Crisp 'n Tasty Pepperoni, 35300-00572
Jeno's Crisp 'n Tasty Combo, 35300-00576
I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be WRONG.

I just bought a huge bag of those for my daughters birthday party! So glad I found out before I fed them to several kids.

Well, the Totino's Pizza Rolls are NOT on that list, but I am still watching my son. I fed him and 3 of his friends the Totino's pizza rolls last night because they opted out of halloween and instead stayed here and watched scary movies! I have never bought those before...EVER!! Bad timing on my part. Great :(

I bought the rolls too. I guess I freaked out for nothing. But I'm still not serving them.

Frozen Pizzas Recalled for Possible E.Coli

CHICAGO (Nov. 1) - Almost five million Totino's and Jeno's frozen pizzas with pepperoni toppings are being recalled because the pepperoni may be contaminated with E. coli, General Mills Inc. said on Thursday.

Generalmills.com Thursday's frozen pizza recall includes eight types of Totino's brand frozen pizza and three types of Jeno's brand frozen pizza with pepperoni topping, or pepperoni in combination with other toppings.

General Mills, which owns the Totino's and Jeno's brands, said the recall affects about 414,000 cases of pizza products currently in stores and all similar pizza products that might be in consumers' freezers. Each case contains 12 pizzas.

The possible E. coli contamination was uncovered by state and federal authorities investigating 21 E. coli-related illnesses in 10 states.

General Mills said nine of the 21 people reported having eaten Totino's or Jeno's pizza with pepperoni topping at some point before becoming ill.

The people became ill between July 20 and Oct. 10, the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service said, adding that all the patients recovered.

The people did not have packages with dates codes or other information General Mills needs to narrow down which pizzas might be affected, General Mills spokesman Tom Forsythe said, adding that, for the same reason, the company could not determine which of its suppliers provided the pepperoni.

E.coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacteria that can cause bloody diarrhea and dehydration. The very young, seniors and persons with compromised immune systems are the most vulnerable to food borne disease.

The recall includes eight types of Totino's brand frozen pizza and three types of Jeno's brand frozen pizza with pepperoni topping, or pepperoni in combination with other toppings.

The frozen pizzas were produced in its Wellston, Ohio, plant and distributed throughout the United States. The plant is currently making other pizzas, but not with pepperoni, General Mills spokesman Tom Forsythe said.

Forsythe said the company had yet to determine the cost of the recall.

General Mills shares were down $1.08, or 1.87 percent, at $56.65 late on Thursday afternoon on the New York Stock Exchange. The stock is down 1.7 percent this year, compared with a 0.35 percent increase for the Standard & Poor's packaged foods index.
I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be WRONG.
