General Mills recalled almost 5 million Totino's and Jeno's frozen pepperoni pizzas on Thursday, November 1, 2007, because of possible E. coli contamination. State and federal investigators uncovered the possible contamination after 9 people with E. coli poisoning reported eating the pizzas. The recall covers Totino's and Jeno's pizzas with pepperoni topping or a combination of pepperoni and other toppings.

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.

For more information on this subject, please refer to the section on Car and Motorcycle Accidents.

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.
