Food chains across the US are pulling down all Marie Callender's Cheesy Chicken and Rice single-serve frozen products from their shelves. This is done after fears that these products may lead to potential salmonella contamination.

ConAgra Foods Inc., the Company who manufactures these products has already offered to recall all the products from the market.

Food giant, ConAgra has rolled out a national recall of all Marie Callender's brand, Cheesy Chicken and Rice frozen meals, irrespective of the time they had been manufactured, since they emerge to be linked to an eruption of salmonella Chester that has made 29 people in 14 states fall ill since April.

In a development which has led the company to raise its outlook for the current fiscal year's complete earnings once again, ConAgra Foods Inc. has posted a second-quarter profit increment of
43% on the back of lower commodities costs and gains in market share across all of its consumer foods businesses.
