I guess there is going to be a lot of empty real estate in the frozen section of most supermarkets this weekend. Boatloads of frozen pizzas were recalled because of possible E. coli contamination.If you like to much on Totino’s and Jeno’s pizza, you’ll be out of luck for the most part. I’m not much a frozen pizza eater and when I do indulge, I usually go for California Pizza Kitchen. If we want pizza around here, I usually make it from scratch.
The recalled pizzas are a risk because of the pepperoni they contain. The recall covers pizzas containing pepperoni that have been produced since July, when the first of 21 E. coli illnesses under investigation by state and federal authorities emerged.
Throw away all recalled pizzas. You can obtain replacements by clipping the bar code from the box and mailing it with your name and address to Totino’s/Jeno’s, P.O. Box 200 – Pizza, Minneapolis, MN 55440-0200.
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.
