Regarding the recalls – I thought I looked up the recent one and saw that it did not include these particular pot pies. However, I’m just a blogger – people seem to forget this. I don’t have any official information, nor do I work for any company, and I try to keep the conversation on the blog away from complaints, recalls, etc. For official information you should always look up the OFFICIAL website for the product or company involved.

But for what it’s worth – I just bought 5 of these pot pies (in California), and still eat them on a regular basis – the microwave seems to work pretty well for getting a crispy crust, although occasionally the center remains a bit cold.

Thanks for all the comments!

I too am wondering if the Marie Callendar pot pies are recalled, since they are also Con Agra?

For your information, after cooking my chicken pot pie for 65 minutes at 400 degrees, the crust was still soft and with uncooked texture. I did not eat it. They top rim was apparently done.
Thank You, Marian Buchanan

I HAD MY FIRST INDIVIDUAL MARIE CALLENDAR CHICKEN POTPIE TODAY. I PREPARED IT IN A MICRO-WAVE PER THE DIRECTIONS AND I WAS COMPLETELY SURPRISED. IT WAS DELICIOUS. MY WIFE TOLD ME HOW GOOD THEY WERE AND I HAVE TO AGREE. OUTSTANDING PRODUCT. I WILL CERTAINLY STOCK MY FREEZER WITH MORE. THANK YOU

Are the Marie Callendar Pot Pies affected by the CDC and ConAgra recall of frozen pot pies due to outbreak of salmonella poisoning?
I’ve purchased several of the Beef and Turkey pot pies from King Soopers here in Colorado and have experienced the symptoms including diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps.

Banquet, Healthy Choice and Marie Callendar are all produced by ConAgra one of the largest food processors. They are also known for being the source of MANY (not all make the news) food rcalls including the Marie Callendar line. Bottom line of this company is not to provide the comsumer with a “Healthy Choice”. Great site.

Smaller 10 oz. size pot pies are also available. I picked up one turkey and one chicken at the grocery store last week, and they each cost $1.79 (I don’t think they were on sale). On these, it looks like the reflective heat grid is actually a solid disc of grey paper, and it does do a spectacular job of browning the crust.
