We interrupt our regular programming to bring you the following news bulletin!

This just came in my email, and I think it’s something all of us should be aware of.

CDC is collaborating with public health officials in multiple states across the United States and with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service to investigate an ongoing multi-state outbreak of Salmonella I,4,[5],12:i:- (pronounced “four five twelve eye minus”) infections in humans.

Advice to consumers

At this time, CDC recommends that people do not eat any Banquet pot pies or pot pies made by ConAgra Foods that have a printed code ending in “P9.” Other brands of pot pies made in the ConAgra Foods factory that makes Banquet brand pot pies and sold under other brand names may also be contaminated with Salmonella. These other pot pie boxes also have a printed code ending in “P9″. If you have any of these products at home, the safest thing to do is to discard them.

Full details can be found at NewsEmergency.com.

I know a lot of us probably have those lil’ pies hanging out in the back of our freezers, hidden under the frozen berries or vegetables, just alongside the farm raised organic whatever that was lovingly hand fed for each day of its life, then given a bath. Especially those of us with young children. So if you do, please check the code, if it’s “P9″, toss ‘em.

Now back to our regularly scheduled goodness.
