The Salmonella outbreak associated with ConAgra pot pies has sickened at least 211 people, according to the CDC. All of these people were sickened by an identical strain of Salmonella.

So far, 34 states are involved in the outbreak: Arizona (1 person), Arkansas (3), California (5), Colorado (7), Connecticut (6), Delaware (5), Florida (2), Georgia (2), Idaho (7), Illinois (6), Indiana (3), Kansas (2), Kentucky (8), Massachusetts (6), Maryland (7), Maine (1), Michigan (3), Minnesota (7), Missouri (13), Montana (4), Nevada (6), New York (9), Ohio (10), Oklahoma (1), Oregon (3), Pennsylvania (15), Tennessee (6), Texas (4), Utah (11), Virginia (7), Vermont (2), Washington (14), Wisconsin (22), and Wyoming (3).

At least 40 people have been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported.

After what could be argued was a negligently long period of time after being made aware of the possible connection between its pot pies and the Salmonella infections, ConAgra recalled the following 7 oz. single serving brands of pot pie bearing an establishment number "P-9" or "Est. 1059" printed on the side of the package:

• Banquet (sold at many stores)
• Great Value (sold at Wal-Mart)
• Kirkwood (sold at Aldi)
• Albertson’s (sold at Albertson’s)
• Food Lion (sold at Food Lion)
• Hill Country Fare (sold at HEB)
• Kroger (sold at Kroger)
• Meijer (sold at Meijer)
• Western Family (now discontinued)

All chicken, turkey and beef pot pies sold under these brands with the establishment number "P-9" are included in the recall.  The Wisconsin Department of Health has reported  that a Banquet  turkey pot pie has tested positive for Salmonella.
