Totino's and Jeno's pizza recalled due to E. coli

CHICAGO (Reuters) - 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.

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 October 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.

Actually we shouldn't be picking on China since it was we who demanded
lower costs.

However, China does need to clean up it's own environment and beef up
protection laws.

That's their punishment for microwaving frozen pizza.

That brings up an important question. . .Would baking in a
conventional oven instead of microwaving, even kill E. coli???

There have got to be other factors involved beyond just microwaving frozen
pizza.

That's because I microwaved a Jeno's Combination (Pepperoni and Sausage)
pizza just two days before the recall.

100% Power for 4 minutes, then about 2 minutes in a toaster oven set at the
highest Toast temperature setting, just to make the crust crispy, which may
have further cooked the pizza but for the most part, it was cooked in the
microwave.

The pizza was as good as it could get for a cheap frozen pizza (often sold
for $1.00 or less), but I also didn't get sick from eating that pizza.

I did, however, discard the other Jeno's Combination pizza I had in the
freezer as a precaution after the recall was announced, even though I could
have probably microwave-cooked that pizza, and used the toaster oven to make
the crust cripsy just as with the other pizza I made two days prior to the
recall.

At first I thought, "Why post that here? No one who reads this NG
would eat those." I was wrong (see below).

I wondered what kind of person would eat that crap. I guess the
answer is, people like you.

You could have eaten that crappy, trans-fatty, imitation cheese piece
of shit.
It would've been perfect for a guy like you.
You are what you eat.

Hell, a frozen pizza for less than 1$... it can't be food. Or is it?

I say, no. People buy that crap and make it for their kids, and the
kids' friends. It is made with imitation cheese. I don't think that
Sandra Lee would even eat it.

They are very small pizzas with not much topping (or flavour LOL).
However my mother likes them and I'm happy to have her eat them
considering how underweight she is right now!

But we threw out the pepperoni one and will be applying to the
manufacturer for a refund.
A large company like that should be able to maintain better quality
control!

E coli has nothing to do with the deliberate use of lead and
diethylene glycol in products.

It doesn't matter whether it's deliberate or not: the result is the
same. The FDA is supposed to guard you from eating e-coli and other
germ-infested food, like last fall's contaminated lettuce from
California. And in case the contamination is *not* deliberate, it's
still classified as negligence in tort law. You can basically go and
sue the grower, the FDA, the distributer and your local supermarket
for failing to safeguard your health. You put your trust in them, so
it's a negligence and a breach of trust.

Sue the supermarket? That's a stretch, unless you could prove the
supermarket knew of sloppy practices at the lettuce farm.

A lady I work with was telling me about this story this morning at work.
She said that the pepperoni used on the Totino's pizza is actually made in
China, and it's the pepperoni that's the problem here.

And you know, it's also interesting that all these stories about
Chinese-made product recalls is coming about as the dollar sinks lower and
lower. It almost sounds like some kind of economic warfare with
China...China, a country which supposedly holds a great portion of our
national debt. How that happened, who knows.

Only to those who are a sucker for a mindless conspiracy theory.

The real reason is the trillion bucks thats been ****ed against the wall in Iraq.

> China, a country which supposedly holds a great portion of our national debt.

So it aint in their interest to see the value of the dollar decline, stupid.

AND they have chosen to lock their own currency to the USD too. Funny that.

> How that happened, who knows.

Its obvious how that happened to anyone with even half a
clue, they sell lot more to the US than they buy from the US.

Same thing happened with Japan until the chinese got their act into gear.

It's not so much where the money is being spent, but the fact that they're
just creating the money out of thin air. The government needs money, so
federal reserve prints the money that's needed and loans it to the
government and charges them interest on it.

Stupid? /sigh Nice of you to accent your message so.

And the Chinese think of the long term, unlike the United States. If China
can take a financial hit now to make the USA a third world country, they'll
do it if they can see a benefit for themselves, even in the distant future,
stupid.

> AND they have chosen to lock their own currency to the USD too. Funny that.

And if they choose to switch to the Euro?

And how long will that last as more and more reports surface about
dangerous Chinese products?

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you
dont actually have a clue about how deficits are funded.

Heavy breathing aint gunna save your bacon.

It isnt an accent, its clearly an accurate description.

Have fun explaining what Mao got up to.

You clearly wouldnt know what a third world country
was if one bit you on your lard arse, child.

Just another of your pathetic little drug crazed pig ignorant fantasys, child.

Forever when china gets its act into gear and puts a bullet in the back of the
neck of the fools that are actually stupid enough to do stuff like that, literally.

And I see that you offer no alternative explanation. Here's my

You're in the drug-crazed fantasy. You think everything is great. The
government always tells the truth. CNN and Fox News always tell the truth.
You believe everything you're told as long as they say that everything is
fine...and can you be that sure?

Killing people is your answer? Well, that figures. I think it was
probably known that these products weren't safe long before the reports
started coming out. I used to be more gullible and trusting that people
really had the best interests of their fellow man in mind in all things,
but the more I see, the more I believe that many of these executives don't
give a sailing shit about anything but money and how they can get more of
it.

and such debt is simply being passed onto the next generation. Read
somewhere that GW has been the biggest spender since Lyndon Johnson -
two of the biggest spenders of all times.

Gotta love that GW leadership of spend & borrow.

Then again, all that debt is the major reason for the ever declining US
dollar & consequently the rising price of oil. It'll likely be the
basis for an inflationary period that we should soon be entering.

Oil has only climbed moderately when priced in Euros.
