OMAHA, Neb. — ConAgra Foods on Wednesday asked stores to stop selling pot pies linked to a Salmonella outbreak, although the company and the U.S. Department of Agriculture defended their decision not to immediately recall the product.
ConAgra asked stores nationwide to pull the Banquet and generic brand chicken and turkey pot pies after two East Coast grocery chains made their own choice to remove the product from their shelves.
The pot pies made by ConAgra have been linked to at least 139 cases of Salmonella in 30 states. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said at least 20 people have been hospitalized, but so far no deaths have been linked to the pot pies.
