Back to Food Poisoning

Banquet and other store brand pot pies manufactured by ConAgra Foods were recently recalled due to an outbreak of salmonella. On October 9, 2007, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) warned consumers to avoid eating turkey and chicken varieties of pot pies manufactured by ConAgra Foods. According to the USDA, both generic and Banquet pot pies had been linked to 139 cases of salmonella poisoning in 30 states.

ConAgra Foods voluntarily recalled all varieties of Banquet brand frozen pot pies and all varieties of store brand pot pies sold under the following names:

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

All of the affected pot pies were manufactured at a ConAgra Foods facility in Missouri, and production at that plant was halted pending the outcome of the Salmonella outbreak investigation.

The pot pies were sold in 7 oz. single serving packages bearing an establishment number "P-9" or "Est. 1059" printed on the side of the package. The Salmonella contaminated pot pies were sold in all fifty states, as well as in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean Islands.

The Banquet pot pie salmonella outbreak was the second time in less than a year that a ConAgra product was linked to the food borne bacteria. In February 2007, ConAgra recalled Peter Pan and Great Value Peanut Butter after they were blamed for a salmonella epidemic that sickened 628 people in 47 states. It was determined that unsanitary conditions at one of ConAgra's plants in Georgia had allowed Salmonella bacteria to contaminate the peanut butter produced there.
