'''Banquet Foods''' was a company that sold food products - primarily [[Freezing|frozen]] [[chicken]] - and still exists as the brand name on many prepared chicken products sold by [[ConAgra Foods]]. Banquet was founded in [[1966]] through the merger of [[Bright Foods]] of [[Turlock, California]], and [[FM Stamper]] of [[Moberly, Missouri]]. Soon after that, Banquet became popular with their ''Cooking Bags'' products. In [[1970]], the company was purchased by [[RCA]], which in turn sold it to [[ConAgra]] in [[1980]]. |
|||
Banquet is known primarily for a frozen [[Breading|breaded]] chicken, but expanded into other chicken products over the years, including chicken [[pot pie]]s, [[chicken nugget]]s, ready-to-heat microwavable dinners and [[buffalo wing]]s. In June [[2001]], ConAgra introduced '''Banquet Homestyle Bakes''' - ready to bake dinner kits in 11 varieties. The Banquet brand is also on '''Banquet Dessert Bakes''' - no-bake [[pie]] and [[cake mix]]es -- and on '''Banquet Crock-Pot Classics''' frozen meals. |

On [[October 11]], [[2007]], food manufacturer [[ConAgra]] asked stores to pull its [[Banquet Foods|Banquet]] and generic brand chicken and turkey pot pies due to 152 cases of salmonella poisoning in 31 states being linked to the consumption of ConAgra pot pies, with 20 people hospitalized. By [[October 12]], a full recall was announced, affecting all varieties of frozen pot pies sold under the brands [[Banquet Foods|Banquet]], [[Albertson’s]], [[Cub Foods]], [[Food Lion]], [[Great Value]], [[Hill Country Fare]], [[Kirkwood]], [[Kroger]], [[Meijer]], and [[Western Family]]. The recalled pot pies included all varieties in 7-oz. single-serving packages bearing the number P-9 or “Est. 1059” printed on the side of the package. <ref> St. Cloud Times [http://www.sctimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071013/NEWS01/110120058/1009 "ConAgra Foods recalls all pot pies".
