The USDA has issued a public health alert for various frozen, raw, breaded, and pre-browned stuffed chicken products due to a Salmonella Enteritidis illness cluster. The products, which include varieties like Chicken Cordon Bleu, Chicken Kiev, and Chicken with Broccoli and Cheese, may appear ready-to-eat but are actually raw and require full cooking. At least one illness cluster has been identified with onset dates between February and May 2021, and samples from a retail store tested positive for the outbreak strain. Consumers are advised that some patients became ill after using microwaves or air fryers, which may not have reached the necessary internal temperature of 165 F to kill the bacteria.
Consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, leading to diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever. While most people recover, the infection can be severe enough to require hospitalization, especially for older adults, infants, and people with weakened immune systems.
