The canadian river solid food review government agency says 20 people feature been made sick and four hospitalized after an outbreak of E. Coli infections linked to Pillsbury brand Pizza Pops.
The agency says those who became ill range in age from one to 87 and live in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and New Brunswick.
A national recall announced Sunday covers Pizza Pops pepperoni and bacon pizza snacks sold in 760-gram and 2.85-kilogram packages, with best-before dates of June 9 and 10, 2026, are affected.
The recall also includes Pizza Pops Supremo Extreme pepperoni and bacon snacks in three-kilogram boxes with best-before dates between June 10 and 12, 2026, and Pizza Pops Frank's RedHot pepperoni and bacon sold in 380-gram packages with a best-before date of June 14, 2026.
The CFIA says the products may be contaminated with E. Coli O26, and it is urging customers to throw away the affected products or return them to the store where they were purchased.
The contaminated food may not look or smell spoiled according to the recall notice, but can still make you sick.
Symptoms that could occur from eating food contaminated with E. Coli include nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping and diarrhea, though more serious symptoms and medical treatments could be needed in severe cases.
The agency says people who are infected with E. Coli bacteria can spread it to others several days to several weeks after they have become infected, even if they don't have symptoms.
General Mills said in a statement that it is a voluntary recall, and other Pillsbury Pizza Pops products are not affected.
