Tyson Foods is recalling approximately 33,840 pounds of Tyson Mechanically Separated Chicken sold in 40-lb. cases to institutional customers. These products, produced on October 11, 2013, are being recalled due to potential contamination with Salmonella Heidelberg. These specific items were distributed nationwide for institutional use, such as in correctional facilities, and were not available for retail purchase by general consumers.
Consumption of these products can lead to salmonellosis, which causes diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever; seven illnesses and two hospitalizations have already been linked to this product in a Tennessee correctional facility.
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.
