    Salmonella outbreak and frozen pot pie recall

    ConAgra Foods recalled Banquet and other-label chicken and turkey pot pies after the products were linked to Salmonella illnesses. Initial reports cited 152 cases in 31 states and 20 hospitalizations; a later CDC determination identified 401 cases across 41 states, with about one-third of patients hospitalized. When the products returned, cooking instructions and temperature requirements were made more conspicuous on the packaging.
