| ■ Marie Callender's Brand Frozen Meals Recalled | 2010.06.18 |
| A salmonella outbreak in 14 states has triggered a U.S.-wide recall of all Marie Callender's brand cheesy chicken and rice frozen meals. ConAgra Foods announced the recall Thursday after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told the company about a possible link between the products and 29 illnesses, the Associated Press reported. Eight of the people who became ill said they'd eaten the frozen meal in April or May. The most recent illness was reported May 22. The recall includes all meals (regardless of production date) labeled "Marie Callender's Cheesy Chicken and Rice White Meat Chicken and Broccoli over Rice Topped with Rich Cheddar Sauce," the AP reported. Symptoms of salmonella infection include diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever within eight to 72 hours of consuming a contaminated product. |
