Apparently, General Mills  recalled  5 million frozen pizzas sold nationwide under the Totino's and Jeno's labels because of possible E. coli contamination. This is wonderful news considering I just ate that pizza yesterday (rolling eyes). What is up with these companies having problems like this? How can we trust the food we eat when stuff like this is always happening?

Eight of the cases were reported in Tennessee, with the other cases found in Kentucky, Missouri, New York, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Wisconsin and South Dakota. Being that I'm in Kentucky, now I have to worry about E. Coli considering I bought my pizza in Kentucky.

Consumers are adviced to throw away the pizzas. They are giving out replacements. Simply clip the bar code from the box and mail it with your  name and address to Totino's/Jeno's, P.O. Box 200 - Pizza, Minneapolis, MN 55440-0200.

Despite the fact that they are doing this, the problem shouldn't have happened in the first place. E Coli can be very, very serious. And not everyone watches the news every day to see when another food manufacturer is recalling their products.

The symptoms of E. Coli  start about 7 days after you are infected with the germ. The first sign is severe abdominal cramps that start suddenly. After a few hours, watery diarrhea starts. The diarrhea causes your body to lose fluids and electrolytes (dehydration). This makes you feel sick and tired. The watery diarrhea lasts for about a day. Then the diarrhea changes to bright red bloody stools. The infection makes sores in your intestines, so the stools become bloody. Bloody diarrhea lasts for 2 to 5 days. You might have 10 or more bowel movements a day. Some people say their stools are "all blood and no stool." It's a very serious problem and can cause kidney failure. This really upsets me so bad because no telling how many children ate their product.
