MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - General Mills says it's recalling about 5million frozen pizzas due to possible E. coli contamination.
The pizzas are sold nationwide under the Totino's and Jeno's
labels.
General Mills says state and federal authorities have been
investigating 21 E. coli cases in 10 states. Nine of the 21 people
reported eating Totino's or Jeno's pizza with pepperoni topping at
some point before becoming ill. Authorities say eight people have
been hospitalized, and four have developed a type of kidney
failure.

July, when the first of the E. coli cases occurred.
