Pot Pie Recall Expanded to All ConAgra Brands

Minnesota agriculture and health officials have expanded the Banquet pot pie recall to include all varieties of ConAgra frozen pot pies. A consumer warning was issued Oct. 9 alerting the public of possible salmonella contamination in Banquet pot pies.

Six Minnesotans have become sick with salmonella bacteria infections after eating Banquet pot pies. The Minnesota cases are part of a multi-state outbreak of salmonella infections. At least 174 cases have been confirmed in 32 states.

All varieties of the of pot pie products under the following brands are part of the expanded recall:

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

These recalled 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.

Brands sold in Minnesota include Great Value pot pies (sold at Wal-Mart stores), Kirkwood pot pies (sold at Aldi stores), and Banquet pot pies (sold in a variety of grocery stores and convenience stores). Consumers who have any of the recalled brands of pot pies should not eat them, but instead throw them away.

Infections with Salmonella bacteria can cause diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramping, and vomiting. Symptoms usually last less than a week, but the infection can cause more serious health effects in very young children, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems.
