The Public Health Agency of Canada is reporting a fifth hospitalization in an E. coli outbreak linked to recalled Pillsbury brand Pizza Pops.

The federal agency says 23 people in seven provinces got sick with the bacterial illness after eating or handling certain flavours of the frozen snack between early October and late November.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency recalled several pepperoni and bacon Pizza Pops on Sunday due to an E. coli contamination that is under investigation.

The outbreak has now reached Alberta, Ontario, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador.

Please don’t be the Costco flavours 🙏

It definitely did affect some of the Costco sales items. You should double check your box against the product notices.

Costco is usually pretty good about contacting people with recalls since they track every sale to a customer.

I had no idea they did that. That's pretty cool.

Yea I got a message last time for some granola bars the day they recalled them. Was very re-assuring.

It's probably all automated.

Recall happens, an IT staff members goes in and sets up a search their database for anyone who bought the SKUs affected and send an e-mail to the account holder.

Yikes! Well I guess good thing I haven’t been eating these recently.

I ate some and was fine. Must be immune to horrible food standards.

There's always been something shady about them. To start, they taste like burning rubber.

Yeah they're gnar but they were on sale.

I still miss those smaller "mini" pizzas. But I haven't had a pizza pop for years now because I always thought it was too fake to eat. I guess if there's a E.coli risk maybe there's real ingredients in there.
