A New York-based food company is recalling 10 million pounds of frozen pizza, mozzarella bites, quesadillas, cheese steaks, and other items due to a possible E. coli O121 contamination, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said.

Buffalo, N.Y.-based Rich Products Corporation is pulling all products made at its Georgia plant.  

The products have “best by” dates that range between Jan. 1, 2013 to Sept. 29, 2014. The products were produced between July 1, 2011 and March 29, 2013 and were distributed around the country.

The USDA was notified of a possible contamination when “food samples were collected from an ill individual in New York as part of this investigation, and tested by the New York State Department of Health Wadsworth Laboratory,” the agency said.

The outbreak encompasses 24 cases in 15 states that led to seven hospitalizations and led to one case of kidney failure.

“When it became apparent to us that, despite the expertise of the USDA, the FDA, the scientific community and our own experts, identification of a specific cause was not going to be a simple or short process, we decided to act proactively to expand the recall,” said Bill Gisel, Rich Foos’s President and Chief Executive Officer in a statement.

Here is a full list of the affected products:
