Schiffrin Barroway Topaz & Kessler, LLP and Janet Jenner & Suggs, LLC Comment on Conagra Advisory Regarding Pot Pies Linked to Salmonella Outbreak

Date:10/10/2007

RADNOR, Pa., and BALTIMORE, Oct. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- The following statement was issued jointly today by the law firms of Schiffrin Barroway Topaz & Kessler, LLP and Janet Jenner & Suggs, LLC:

SCHIFFRIN BARROWAY TOPAZ & KESSLER, LLP and JANET JENNER & SUGGS, LLC comment on the October 9, 2007 announcement by ConAgra Foods that it is suspending production of its pot pies while federal investigators inspect the company for the source of a Salmonella outbreak that has injured over 100 people in dozens of states. The company has issued an "advisory" to consumers to not eat or use frozen chicken or turkey pot pie products with "P-9" printed on the side of packaging.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is investigating ConAgra due to reported illnesses linked to their products. Banquet brand and generic store brand frozen not-ready-to-eat pot pie products with "P-9" printed on the side of the package may be the potential source of reported illnesses caused by Salmonella based on epidemiological evidence collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and State public health departments. On Monday, the CDC sent inspectors into ConAgra's pot pie plant. The CDC, which is leading the investigation, said 30 states have reported 139 cases of Salmonella poisoning, including 23 that required hospitalization. Wisconsin had the most cases (19), followed by Pennsylvania (13).

"Just seven months after ConAgra's recall of peanut butter due to Salmonella problems, we learn of yet another ConAgra food safety problem. We will aggressively investigate to determine if there is evidence of a pattern of neglect. Instead of blaming consumers for improper cooking, ConAgra needs to clean up its own act and ensure the safety of its food. Stop passing the buck. ConAgra must be held accountable." said Tobias L. Millrood, partner with Schiffrin Barroway Topaz & Kessler, LLP
