ConAgra Foods Banquet Pot Pies Recall

Foster's Food Fair IGA would like to announce due to a voluntary warning and recall by the manufacturer and to ensure the safety and well being of all our customers, we have proactively pulled the affected Banquet brand frozen chicken or turkey pot pie products from our shelves. This advisory pertains to Banquet brand frozen chicken or turkey pot pie products bearing the number "P-9" printed on the side of the package.

The recall was announced by ConAgra Foods, after it was advised yesterday by health officials in several states that a number of consumers had been diagnosed with salmonella that they believe is statistically associated with the consumption of Banquet chicken and turkey pot pies.

Salmonella is among the common pathogens found in not-ready-to-eat poultry containing products like pot pies. Cooking instructions are designed to result in the elimination of any risk associated with salmonella. ConAgra Foods, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), is advising consumers to not eat these products while the USDA and ConAgra Foods look into these concerns.

ConAgra Foods would like to remind “consumers that these products are not ready-to-eat, and must always be thoroughly cooked as instructed on the packages. The cooking instructions for these products are specifically designed to eliminate the presence of common pathogens found in many uncooked products. Microwave cooking times vary, depending on the wattage of the microwave, so carefully following all instructions is important.”

Until Foster’s Food Fair IGA has a guarantee of the safety of this affected product moving forward, it will not be available. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause, however the safety of our customers is our top priority.

We encourage all customers who have purchased these products to return the affected product to their Foster’s Food Fair IGA of purchase for a full refund.
