NASHVILLE (WVLT) -- Tennessee Health Department officials say they are leading a national E. Coli Outbreak Investigation that may be tied to frozen pizzas.
And today, General Mills says it's recalling almost five million frozen pizzas sold under the Totino's and Jeno's label because of possible E. coli contamination.
So far the Tennessee Health Department says there have been 21 cases of E.Coli linked to this outbreak.
Eight of those cases are in Tennessee.
Illnesses have been reported from mid-July to early October.

General Mills says the problem may come from pepperoni produced at an Ohio plant and put on the Totino's and Jeno's frozen pizzas.
