Washington and other states are experiencing a salmonella outbreak via pot pies. Excerpt below:

OLYMPIA, Wash. — State health officials say they have now linked eight cases of salmonella in Washington to the multi-state outbreak blamed on pot pies sold under the Banquet brand name and some store brand names.

The state Health Department says two cases have been identified in Spokane County, and one each in Yakima, Snohomish, Benton, Stevens, Skagit and Pierce counties. The cases occurred from May through September.

A recall has been issued for all chicken, turkey and beef pot pies manufactured by ConAgra Foods.

I’ve actually made pot pies by first tumbling the meat with my CulinaryPrep. John just loves meat pasties - a similar thing. He even refers to them as that when I make them, but they are essentially pot pies. More of a shape thing rather than a taste difference.
