USDA-FSIS Recall Announcement:Missouri Firm Recalls Frozen Pot Pie Products For Possible Salmonella Contamination

Oct. 11, 2007 - ConAgra Foods, a Marshall, Missouri firm, is voluntarily recalling an undetermined amount of all varieties of ConAgra frozen pot pie products in commerce that may be linked to an outbreak of salmonellosis.

The following brands and all varieties, including chicken, turkey and beef, of ConAgra frozen pot pie products are subject to this recall:

Banquet
Albertson's
Food Lion
Great Value
Hill Country Fare
Kirkwood
Kroger
Meijer
Western Family

These frozen pot pies include all varieties in 7 oz. single serving packages bearing an establishment number "P-9" or "Est. 1059" printed on the side of the package.

These ConAgra frozen pot pie products were distributed to retail establishments throughout the United States, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean islands. Based on product shelf life, these recalled ConAgra pot pies could still be in consumers' freezers and it is important that consumers look for and return or discard and do not eat these products if they find them. [Note from Pritzker | Ruohonen regarding this ConAgra pot pie recall: Recalled food products should not be thrown away if someone has eaten some of the product until it is determined whether someone was sickened by the product. If you or your child is diagnosed with Salmonella after eating a ConAgra pot pie, contact the food safety law firm of Pritzker | Ruohonen.]

On October 9, FSIS issued a public health alert for these ConAgra frozen pot pie products following an investigation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and State public health departments into a large cluster of illnesses caused by Salmonella that identified these products. The establishment voluntarily ceased operations on October 9; however FSIS continues its investigation to determine the source of contamination. The CDC, State public health departments and FSIS also continue investigation into the multi-state illness outbreak.
