OMAHA, Neb. — ConAgra Foods voluntarily stopped production Tuesday at the Missouri plant that makes its Banquet pot pies after health officials said the pies may be linked to 139 cases of Salmonella in 30 states, including Washington.
The Omaha-based company told consumers Tuesday not to eat its chicken or turkey pot pies until investigations are complete.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued a health alert Tuesday to warn about the possible link between the pot pies and the Salmonella cases.
The USDA is advising consumers to discard the pies, said Amanda Eamich, of the agency's Food Safety and Inspection Service. ConAgra is not recalling the pies but is offering mail-in refunds and store returns.
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been tracking reported Salmonella cases since last Wednesday.
Department spokesman Jeff Smith said the three people recovered and were not hospitalized.
