So there’s a large pizza recall going on. The pizza recall conerns the brands Totino’s and Jeno’s, both manufactured by General Mills.
The reason is that the peperoni on the frozen pizzas might be contaminated with e. coli. 21 people have so far been reported as becoming ill from consuming the products.
General Mills has announced a recall on two popular frozen pizza products.
Totino’s and Jeno’s frozen pizzas with
pepperoni toppings are being recalled because the company says the
pepperoni could be contaminated with E-Coli.
The recall affects approximately 414,000 products currently on store shelves.
21 people in ten states have already come ill.
Anyone with the affected pizzas should
remove the UPC (bar code) label from each box before throwing them away
and contact General Mills for replacement.
A full listing of the products involved in the pizza recall can be found here:

Consumers

One question though. How is anyone going to be able to blame this on China?
