I am posting the information from the General Mills site with the barcode numbers and how to obtain a replacement. I buy these pizzas all the time and actually had one of the Classic Pepperoni in my freezer, bought from Wal-Mart. We ate two pizzas a couple of nights ago, and one of my daughters had vomiting and diarrhea yesterday-I am not sure if this was from the pizza or just the stomach virus that is going around since she seems better today. Please check your freezers and discard these pizzas if you have any.
