Almost 60,000 Pounds Of Raw Chicken Products Have Been Recalled Over A Possible Salmonella Enteritidis Contamination

Almost 60,000 pounds of frozen raw chicken have been recalled due to a possible Salmonella Enteritidis contamination.

Serenade Foods has issued a recall for nearly 60,000 pounds of chicken products over possible contamination of Salmonella Enteritidis. The recall was announced by The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service on Monday.

The products sold at Aldis and other stores were raw, frozen, and breaded and pre-browned stuffed, CNN reports. The boxed foods were produced on February 24 and February 25, 2021, and were shipped out to several stores around the nation.

The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service urge anyone who may have purchased the products to dispose of them immediately. “These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase,” it said, adding that it is working with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to investigate a report of 28 Salmonella Enteritidis cases.

“Unopened intact packages of raw, frozen, breaded chicken stuffed with broccoli and cheese were collected from an ill person’s home and tested positive for the outbreak strain of Salmonella Enteritidis,” said the service. “FSIS continues to work with the CDC and state and local public health partners on this investigation.”
