BRIEF: Salmonella found in 3 Banquet pot pies - (Omaha World-Herald)
October 31, 2007 – 11:03 pmThree Banquet pot pies made by ConAgra Foods have, according to this story, tested positive for salmonella as federal officials investigate an outbreak that has sickened more than 270 people in 35 states.
Omaha-based ConAgra recalled its Banquet pot pies Oct. 11 and halted production of the products at a plant in Missouri. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is investigating the plant. No salmonella contamination has been found so far (in the plant, I presume).
Early in the investigation, the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said interviews with people who had become sick showed that Banquet brand pot pies were the likely source of the illnesses.
