WASHINGTON—The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service issued a public health alert due to possible Salmonella contamination of raw, frozen, breaded and pre-browned, stuffed chicken entrees.
The alert was initiated after the Minnesota Department of Health and Minnesota Department of Agriculture determined that 32 Salmonella-related illnesses were linked to Cordon Blue and Chicken Breast Kiev entrees in Minnesota and 11 other states.
Although many of these stuffed chicken entrees were labeled with instructions identifying the product as uncooked and did not include microwave instructions for preparation, individuals who became ill did not follow the cooking instructions and reportedly used a microwave to prepare the product.
