Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Triple T Specialty Meats, Inc. is recalling approximately 20,630 pounds of ready-to-eat chicken salad because it may be contaminated with Salmonella Typhimurium. There have been 37 confirmed illnesses linked to this outbreak in Iowa, with patients reporting symptoms between January and February 2018. The product was sold in the deli sections of Fareway grocery stores in various weights and as 5-pound bags.

Risk

Eating food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, resulting in diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within 12 to 72 hours. While most people recover without treatment, the infection can be severe enough to require hospitalization, especially for older adults, infants, and those with weakened immune systems.
