Alert follows General Mills Recall on Totino's Party Pizza's

LANDOVER, Md., Nov. 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Giant Food, following a product recall by General Mills, announced it has removed from its shelves all General Mills 10 oz. Totino's Party Pizza's - Pizza Combo and Pizza Pepperoni because of possible Escherichia coli 0157:H7 bacteria (e.coli) contamination. General Mills announced the recall today.

E. coli causes a diarrhea illness often with bloody stools.

HUS is most likely to occur in young children and the elderly. The condition can lead to serious kidney damage and even death.
