Throw Out Recalled ConAgra Pot Pies

banquet-pot-pie.jpgHealth officials in Illinois are concerned by the growing number of Salmonella cases linked to frozen pot pies recalled by ConAgra Foods.  The ConAgra recalled pot pies (Banquet pot pies in particular) have been linked with a multi-state Salmonella outbreak that has sickened at least 272 people.  Dr. Damon T. Arnold, state public health director, is warning consumers again today to throw out the recalled ConAgra frozen pot pies.

“If you currently have pot pies in your freezer, even if you bought them a couple months ago, you need to pay attention to this recall. The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) continues to receive reports of ill people who have consumed the recalled pot pies within the last month. Salmonellosis can cause diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever within eight to 72 hours. Additional symptoms may include chills, headache, nausea and vomiting that can last up to seven days. Consumers should not eat these pot pies,” said Dr. Arnold.

To date, Illinois has a total of 15 cases of Salmonella that are believed to be associated with eating the recalled pot pies, compared to six cases as of October 12 when IDPH first warned consumers.

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

Albertson’s

Kirkwood

Banquet

Kroger

Food Lion

Meijer

Great Value

Western Family

Hill Country Fare

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.
