Canadian firm to recall chicken products
Two different chicken products, No Name brand "Chicken Nuggets" and unbranded "$10 Chicken Fries", were recalled from the shelves of Canadian grocery chain Loblaw after they were tested positive for salmonella.
People in three provinces reported eating the recalled products before becoming ill, according to an outbreak notice posted on July 21 by the Public Health Agency of Canada.
Consumers may still have contaminated products in their home freezers because of their best-before dates, which are in March and May of 2019. Canadian health officials reported samples of both products tested positive for Salmonella Enteritidis. Loblaw Companies distributed the products nationwide in Canada.
"The positive food samples had genetic fingerprints that matched the genetic fingerprints of the cases of human illness reported in these outbreaks," according to the outbreak notice from the Public Health Agency of Canada.
Seven people, with ages from 1 to 42, were reported ill after consuming those products and one has bee hospitalized, reports Food Safety News magazine.
