There is a new product recall for Pizza Pops due to possible E. coli contamination.

You should check your freezer for these items because E. coli could cause severe illness and even death.

On January 25, 2026, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency posted a food recall warning for certain Pillsbury brand Pizza Pops.

The affected products are being recalled because of possible E. coli O26 contamination.

This recall was triggered by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's investigation into a foodborne illness outbreak.

It was related to a recall of certain Pillsbury brand Pizza Pops Pepperoni + Bacon in December.

According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, there are 11 additional products that could be contaminated with E. coli.

The items have been distributed nationally.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said to check if you have the recalled products and not to consume, serve, use, sell, or distribute the items.

Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where you purchased them.

If you think you got sick from consuming this recalled product, you're being told to contact your healthcare provider.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency warned that food contaminated with E. coli O26 might not look or smell spoiled, but can still make you sick.

Symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, mild to severe abdominal cramps, and watery to bloody diarrhea.

In severe cases of illness, some people could have seizures or strokes, need blood transfusions and kidney dialysis, or sustain permanent kidney damage.

There is the possibility of death in severe cases.
