Chicago-based Aspen Foods, a division of Koch Poultry Company, issued a recall of approximately 1,978,680 pounds of frozen, raw, stuffed and breaded chicken product that may be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis, according to USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced.
Beginning in June, FSIS was notified of a cluster of Salmonella Enteritidis illnesses. Working in conjunction with Minnesota State Departments of Health and Agriculture, FSIS determined that there is a link between the frozen, raw, stuffed and breaded chicken products from Aspen Foods and this illness cluster.
