The USDA is issuing a public health alert for frozen, raw, breaded and pre-browned stuffed chicken products, specifically those labeled as 'chicken cordon bleu' or 'chicken Kiev.' These products are being investigated due to a potential link to Salmonella Enteritidis illness clusters. While these items may appear ready-to-eat because they are pre-browned, they are actually raw and require thorough cooking to be safe for consumption.
Consumption of these products can lead to Salmonellosis, which causes diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever. The risk is high because the products appear cooked, leading some consumers to undercook them; FSIS reports that even some individuals who used thermometers still became ill, emphasizing the need for a precise internal temperature of 165°F to kill the bacteria.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
