Frozen pizzas recalled due to E. coli
Totino's and Jeno's brands may have contaminated pepperoni

MINNEAPOLIS - General Mills on Thursday recalled two brands of its frozen pizzas with pepperoni toppings because the meat may have been possibly contaminated with the bacteria E. coli.

The recall affects roughly 414,000 cases of pizza products in stores and all similar pizza products in consumers' freezers, the company said in a statement.

General Mills has voluntarily recalled eight kinds of Totino's and three types of Jeno's frozen pizza, which have pepperoni or other meat products. The company said it is working with federal and state food authorities, and launched an investigation immediately after learning about the potential contamination.

[MrCoffee]

4. i know i have them in mine...

6. Ummmmm...this REALLY sucks, because I just bought a shitload of these

things ( supermarket had a dollar special on them ). I'll be pretty pissed if I have to throw them out, but since I don't know if they're contaminated or not, I have no choice but to throw them out :mad:

Anyone else notice this type of shit happening at least ONCE a frigging week? There is ALWAYS something on the news thats being recalled ( food items, mainly )

shit

[ohiosmith]

7. shitload is right

[TK421]

12. I just looked...it was twelve of them

I like to take them into work and put them in the microwave in my office. I think twelve would be considered a shitload.

[ohiosmith]

23. "shitload" as in E. coli. E. coli/shit. get it?

[TK421]

24. Yeah, I get it..........now

you didn't really clarify what YOU meant by the word "shitload" I assumed you meant I bought at least thirty of the things. That's why I counted them, just to post that

[ohiosmith]

26. sometimes I confuse myself

:thumbsup:

[MrCoffee]

25. no. can you explain it again, please?

[ohiosmith]

27. NO!

[MrCoffee]

8. i'm sure you can take them back to the store for a refund

don't throw them away.

[TK421]

11. Yeah, but I'm not sure if I still have the receipt

that was last week...and I normally don't hold onto those :shrug: Oh well...

[MrCoffee]

15. don't need the receipt, just the UPC from the box

Consumers can contact Totino’s / Jeno’s for product replacement by clipping the UPC (bar code) symbol from each pizza box and sending their UPC's, along with their name and address to:

Totino's / Jeno’s
P.O. Box 200 - Pizza
Minneapolis, MN 55440-0200

The product itself should be thrown away. Consumers with additional questions about the relall should contact the company at [phone].

9. Would you believe I've never bought a frozen pizza?

[Mojambo]

10. I'm fine until the Hot Pockets get infected.

Then it's all over for me.

[caty]

13. There's always

PB & J.

[Mojambo]

14. Can't do PB&J. Never could.

If I lose Hot Pockets I'm down to Ramen noodles and grilled cheese!

[redqueen]

17. Aww... sorry this affected you...

I don't have any of those kinds right now, but I had a scare recently cause I bought some frozen pot pies and ate them (not unusual) but when I went back to get more they were out and had a message taped to the display window saying that they had been recalled due to salmonella. No frozen pot pies for me. :(

[MrCoffee]

18. you got screwn in the Banquet recall too?

i'm starting to wonder if these things are safe even when they aren't being actively recalled.

[redqueen]

19. The way I see it is...

what doesn't kill me makes me stronger.

Bring on the questionable food products! :bounce:

[MrCoffee]

20. excuse me while i lust after you

:rofl: questionable food products rock my casbah!

[redqueen]

21. Only if I can I lust after you too.
