ConAgra Recall of All Marie Callender’s Cheesy Chicken and Rice

ConAgra Foods Packaged Foods, LLC, a Council Bluffs, Iowa establishment has recalled all Marie Callender’s brand Cheesy Chicken and Rice frozen meals in commerce, regardless of production date. These products are being recalled after the company was informed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of an investigation involving 29 people in 14 states who have been diagnosed with salmonellosis linked to Salmonella Chester. Eight of these people specifically reported eating Marie Callender’s Cheesy Chicken and Rice in April and May, 2010, prior to illness onset; the last reported illness was reported on May 22.

The products subject to recall include:

13-ounce packages of “Marie Callender’s Cheesy Chicken & Rice White Meat Chicken and Broccoli over Rice Topped with Rich Cheddar Sauce.”

Each package bears a label with establishment number “P-45″ inside the USDA mark of inspection. The establishment is recalling all the products listed above which are currently in commerce. These products were distributed to retail establishments nationwide.

According to ConAgra’s Teresa Paulsen, “We estimate that prior to recall there would be 50,000 to 100,000 cases (each containing eight dinners) in market. So that would be 400,000 to 800,000 individual packages possibly in market.¹“
