what if i want a refund, i dont want anymore pizza, i just cant trust it.
HI,
I have been a Federal Meat Inspector for USDA for 26 years and I have to say it is extremely rare for E. coli to be on a pepperoni type product. Peperroni is fully cooked semi-dry sausage and is not a good environment for growth. E. coli is usually associated with comminuted beef products which have been contaminated at the slaughterhouse. It will be interesting to see the origin of the bacteria after further testing of the product.
Warren, try calling the number above to see about getting a refund.
James, thanks for that information.
I just dont understand how there could be possible ecoli posion in Peperroni pizza, it really makes me wonder how sanitary the factory is. Also, is this just on pizza’s or also pizza bites? Please email me so I know. Thanks.
Hi Danielle,
I don’t know of any recalls involving pizza bites. The recall is just on the pizzas listed above. Thanks for visiting my blog!
