California Firm Recalls Chicken Products Due to Possible Salmonella Heidelberg Contamination

Agency Publication Date: July 12, 2014

Summary

Foster Farms is recalling an undetermined amount of fresh and frozen chicken products, including Foster Farms and various private label brands like FoodMaxx, Kroger, Safeway, Savemart, Sunland, and Valbest, due to potential contamination with Salmonella Heidelberg. The recall was initiated after a specific illness in California was linked to the consumption of a Foster Farms boneless skinless chicken breast. Affected products were produced between March 7 and March 13, 2014, and sold at major retailers including Costco, FoodMaxx, Kroger, and Safeway.

Risk

The chicken may be contaminated with a specific strain of Salmonella Heidelberg which can cause salmonellosis, leading to symptoms like diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever. While most people recover without treatment, the infection can be severe or life-threatening for infants, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.

What You Should Do

Check your freezer for any Foster Farms or private label chicken products (FoodMaxx, Kroger, Safeway, Savemart, Sunland, or Valbest) with 'Use or Freeze by' dates ranging from March 16 through March 31, 2014, or August 29, 2015, through September 2, 2015.
Verify if the product bears establishment number 'P6137', 'P6137A', or 'P7632' inside the USDA mark of inspection on the packaging.
If you identify an affected product, do not consume it; instead, return it to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Foster Farms directly.
Wash your hands, cutting boards, and any surfaces that may have come into contact with the raw poultry using warm, soapy water.
For questions regarding the recall, contact Foster Farms Consumer Affairs at (800) 338-8051 or via email at info@fosterfarms.com.
For additional food safety concerns, call the USDA Meat & Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
