ConAgra Foods, which had to recall Peater Pan Peanut Butter earlier this year, is now pulling Banquet chicken & turkey pot pies off store shelves. The pot pies, which have "P-9" printed on the side of the package, may be linked to 139 cases of salmonella in 30 states.Short URL: http://wkrg.com/a/5828/
ConAgra maintains that its chicken and turkey pies are safe if they're cooked properly. But the U.S. Department of Agriculture issued a health alert yesterday afternoon to warn consumers about the link between the company's product and the salmonella cases.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been tracking reports of the salmonella cases for the past seven days. A CDC spokeswoman says the largest numbers of salmonella cases had been reported in Georgia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Missouri. The CDC is advising consumers not to eat or discard the chicken & turkey pot pies unitl it can determine the source, products and production dates of contamination.
Earlier this year, ConAgra had to recall all of its peanut butter manufactured at a south Georgia plant because it was linked to a different salmonella outbreak.
According to the CDC, symptoms of Salmonella poisoning include diarrhea, fever, or abdominal cramps. Salmonella infections usually last 5-7 days and often do not require treatment unless the patient becomes severely dehydrated or the infection spreads from the intestines.
