They've gone an messed with PIZZA! Pepperoni pizza!
General Mills on Thursday recalled about 5 million frozen pizzas sold nationwide under the Totino's and Jeno's labels because of possible E. coli contamination.
21 cases under investigation. 8 of the cases in Tennessee. This is getting ridiculous. First we couldn't trust Banquet pot pies, now pizza!
We must demand accountability. What if all pepperonis are contaminated? What will we do?
Seriously now. This is b...s... Can I even make my own pepperoni? Is it made locally anywhere in town?

Maybe I'm just suspicious
Maybe I'm just suspicious after finding out about the gluten (fake meat) dog food, but it seems odd that General Mills isn't revealing their pepperoni supplier.
With that in mind, this pepperoni recipe doesn't look too complicated. Baking for 8 hours sounds easier than hanging it up to dry for six to eight weeks like this other "simple" homemade pepperoni recipe suggests. Where would you hang it?
hang the meat
a shed or similar building that isn't exposed to toxins and what not
Coster Shop Food Processing Plant
After several industries passed on the Coster Shop toxic site, a food distributer will move in.
I wish I could avoid any
I wish I could avoid any food coming out of that Sysco location. It would be virtually impossible to eat out and ever know if the restaurant facility uses Sysco and where the Sysco products originated. Just can't believe a food company would do such a thing, pick such a site.
what!!!???
Because we got home so late from trick-or-treating it was too late to cook a meal so guess what we had YEAH jenos pizza! I ate pepperoni but luckily my younger kids had cheese. THANK GOD!!!!
I wonder if Jenos pizza
I wonder if Jenos pizza rolls are bad also.....
Totino’s and Jeno’s Frozen Pizzas Recalled Due to Possible E. co
Totino’s and Jeno’s Frozen Pizzas Recalled Due to Possible E. coli Contamination
MINNEAPOLIS — Totino’s and Jeno’s today announced a voluntary recall of frozen pizzas with pepperoni toppings because of possible contamination of the pepperoni topping with E. coli O157:H7.
The recall affects approximately 414,000 cases of pizza products currently in stores and all similar pizza products in consumers’ freezers. It includes eight SKUs (stock keeping units or UPC codes) of Totino’s brand frozen pizza and three SKUs of Jeno’s brand frozen pizza with pepperoni topping, or incorporating pepperoni in combination with other toppings.
The specific products in the recall include:
Brand Product SKU number
Totino's Party Supreme 42800-10700
Totino's Three Meat 42800-10800
Totino's Pepperoni 42800-11400
Totino's Pepperoni 42800-92114
Totino's Classic Pepperoni 42800-11402
Totino's Pepperoni Trio 42800-72157
Totino's Party Combo 42800-11600
Totino's Combo 42800-92116
Jeno's Crisp 'n Tasty Supreme 35300-00561
Jeno's Crisp 'n Tasty Pepperoni 35300-00572
Jeno's Crisp 'n Tasty Combo 35300-00576
The frozen pizza products were produced in the company’s Wellston, Ohio, plant and distributed to retail establishments nationwide.
The potential problem was uncovered by state and federal authorities investigating 21 occurrences of E. coli-related illnesses in 10 states. Approximately half of the individuals who became ill were hospitalized as a result. The earliest case reported to state authorities occurred on July 20, and the latest case reported occurred on Oct. 10. Nine of the 21 people reported having eaten Totino’s or Jeno’s pizza with pepperoni topping at some point prior to becoming ill. Since July 1 of this year, Totino’s and Jeno’s have distributed more than 120 million pizzas nationwide.
Totino’s and Jeno’s, working in cooperation with federal and state food safety authorities, launched an investigation immediately upon learning of the potential problem.
In response, General Mills, the parent company of Totino’s and Jeno’s, initiated a voluntary Class I recall as a precaution. The investigation is ongoing, and the company continues to cooperate fully with all involved state and federal authorities.
E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause bloody diarrhea and dehydration. Seniors, the very young, and persons with compromised immune systems are the most susceptible to foodborne illness.
Any consumers concerned about an illness should contact a physician. Anyone diagnosed by a physician as having an illness related to E. coli O157:H7 is also urged to contact state and local public health authorities.
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 recall should contact the company at (800) 949-9055.

Fight Back against recalls
I found a product that kills bacteria and germs like Ecoli and Salmonela on the internet. I researched it first and found out that if you use a product like this one it does in fact help reduce your chances of getting something like this. I found mine at (link...) but there are others like it.
I think that everyone needs to be proactive at this point because there has been a break down in our food supply.
Elaine, it's a ripoff
A recirculating fan with filter is not going to remove bacteria embedded in food. Ecoli, Salmonella, and other bacterias have been killing idiots for years. There is no real break down in our food supply of meats. The problem is in the home and restaurants where the people preparing the food has little or no knowledge of food safety.
Read the story again, if food is cooked to 160 F, it will kill the bacteria, making the food safe to eat. This knowledge has been known for well over a hundred years. Anyone who eats undercooked meat is a fool, Ecoli and Salmonella is a simple way of eliminating ignorance from the gene pool.
I was wondering if perhaps
I was wondering if perhaps Elaine wasn't perhaps advertising her product in the guise of being an unsigned participant...

DAMN!!!!!!!!
This world is so contaminated, theres gonna be another black plague going around. Is there any food that is SAFE TO EAT ANYMORE????? Its almost like eating is just as bad as being anorexic these days. the news keeps telling us "these foods are bad, what you thought was healthy is actually DEADLY, these 'healthy' foods are lethal, is causes cancer, this and that....." and nothing and nobody uses natural ingredients anymore, everything is manmade in a factory which is why it is unhealthy, a leaf of lettuce is probably really recycled paper colored green and made in a factory like everything else. meat is ground up chunks of old meat from the healthier eating countries and died with red food coloring to make it look real. Pet food is a mystery. This world needs to get its act together.
