Marshall-MO ConAgra Pot-Pie Plant Production Halted


At least temporarily- while the plant is completely inspected by government and company inspectors- according to The MARSHALL DEMOCRAT-NEWS.

This because of an outbreak of food poisoning- salmonella- that's been reported in 139 patients in 30 states- and Banquet brand pot pies- which are made at the ConAgra Marshall plant- are considered by the Center of Disease Control (CDC) one possible link to the outbreak.

ConAgra is also the producer of the Peter Pan brand of peanut butter- also not long ago recalled and production halted because of another salmonella outbreak. That brand has just recently re-appeared on store shelves.
