USDA is issuing a public health alert for frozen, raw, stuffed, and breaded chicken products produced by Aspen Foods (a division of Koch Poultry Company) sold under 18 different brand names, including Kirkwood, Safeway Kitchens, and Sysco. The products, which include varieties like Chicken Cordon Bleu, Kiev, and Broccoli and Cheese, were sold at retail and food service locations nationwide between July 30, 2015, and September 17, 2015. These items are being flagged because they are linked to a Salmonella Enteritidis outbreak, and the manufacturer has refused to voluntarily recall the products despite systemic contamination issues.
Consumption of these products can cause salmonellosis, resulting in diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever. While some patients followed label cooking instructions and verified internal temperatures with a thermometer, they still became ill, meaning standard home cooking may not protect consumers from this specific contaminated batch.
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.
