Cloudy With A Chance Of Pizzas And ...Listeria..?

" Americans eat approximately 100 acres of pizza each day, or 350 slices per second!" says the pizza joint. The US Department Of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service is recalling more than 21,000 pounds of frozen pizzas due to possible listeria contamination.

The " Market side Extra Large Supreme Pizza" from RBR meat company Inc. have been reported with the risk of them being contaminated with Listeria Monocytogenes; A bacteria which causes fever, muscle aches, diarrhea and in some untreated case death. The pizza were sold at select Walmart stores around the state before the outbreak.

There has not been any confirmed reports of reactions from the consumers but, The recall has been labeled as a class 1 recall meaning that it can cause serious health consequences or death. The FSIS is urging the consumers who have bought the product to NOT EAT IT. 

CHECK YOUR FREEZER and learn more about this outbreak.

QUESTIONS:

- How would you react if you found out that the pizza you just ate was contaminated?

- Have you ever had food poisoning? if so, what?

* I would probably go to the doctor's and get checked out right away because you never know what it can do to your body and it's better to be safe than sorry. I have personally never had food poisoning but I have been sick from eating some foods before.

  • Well done Alicia! -5 late

  • I would want to go to the hospital if I knew my pizza was contaminated. I would not want to risk dying over some pizza. Yes, I have had food poisoning before. I ate some black beans that were not cooked right, or they weren't cleaned properly. I was sick for about four days.

  • I would be very worried and pry go to the doctor's to make sure everything is okay. Also I would pry not eat that food again, just to be sure. I have never had food poisoning personally, but my dad had Salmonella food poisoning. I hope I never get any type of food poisoning because it didn't look fun. 

  • I would definitely go to the doctors to make sure it doesn't get worse. I would also get rid of the pizza if there are anymore left. I have never had food poisoning before and I don't really want to.

  • I would go to the doctor's right away to get checked. I would make sure to get rid of the pizza if I still had more in my fridge. I have never had food poisoning but I also have been sick from eating foods but it wasn't food poisoning. 

  • I would be really mad and scared because more than likely I would get sick. I would probably go to the doctor and do some blood tests to make sure I wasn't going to die. No, I've never had food poisoning and I don't want to get it either.

  • If I had just eaten one of these pizzas I would panic and go straight to the hospital. Since I have never had extreme food poisoning, I don't know what all of the symptoms are, but I assume they would be not as bad of a result compared to eating this pizza. 

    • What would you do if your children had eaten this pizza?

  • If I found out the food I just ate was contaminated, I would be worried and go to see the doctor, and I probably wouldn't eat that food again anytime soon. I don't think I've ever gotten food poisoning.

  • I would be worried and go see the doctor. I dont know if I ever had food poisoning.
