Consumers who purchased the recalled products are advised to throw them out or return them to the store where they were bought.

General Mills, the maker of Pizza Pops, says food safety is its top priority, and it is working with retailers to remove the affected products. In a statement, the company urged consumers to check their freezers and dispose of the recalled items.

Symptoms of E. coli infection can include nausea, vomiting, headache, mild fever, severe stomach cramps, and watery or bloody diarrhea.
