US : Chicken linked to salmonella recalled

A California chicken producer has issued its first recall since being linked to an outbreak of an antibiotic-resistant strain of salmonella that has been making people sick for more than a year, company and federal food officials said Thursday night.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notified the FSIS of the related illness on June 23, linking it to a California patient eating a boneless skinless chicken breast.

The recalled products have “use or freeze by” dates ranging from March 16, 2014 to March 29, 2014, and are labeled with the plant codes P-6137, P-6137A and P-7632.

Foster Farms says branded chicken products currently in grocery stores are not involved, along with individually frozen bags.

“Foster Farms regrets any illness associated with its products,” the company said in a statement.

The products were distributed in the following states: California, Hawaii, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Oregon and Alaska.

Salmonella related-illnesses prompt symptoms including diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within 12 to 72 hours after eating the contaminated food.
