60,000 Pounds of Frozen Chicken Recalled Due to Salmonella Risk

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has announced that Serenade Foods is recalling 59,251 pounds of frozen, raw, breaded, and pre-browned stuffed chicken products that may be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis. This recall follows a public health alert issued by FSIS on June 2, 2021 related to these same products.

FSIS has been working with the CDC to investigate an outbreak of Salmonella illnesses in 8 states from February 21 through June 28, 2021. Consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial foodborne illnesses. The most common symptoms are diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever. Older adults, infants, and persons with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop a severe illness.

The following products are subject to recall:

• 5-oz individually wrapped packages of Dutch Farms Chicken with Broccoli & Cheese with lot code BR 1055 and BEST IF USED BY FEB 24 2023
• 5-oz individually wrapped packages of Milford Valley Chicken with Broccoli & Cheese with lot code BR 1055 and BEST IF USED BY FEB 24 2023
• 10-oz box of two individually wrapped packages of Milford Valley Chicken Cordon Blue with lot code CB 1055 and BEST IF USED BY FEB 24 2023
• 5-oz individually wrapped packages of Kirkwood Raw Stuffed Chicken, Broccoli & Cheese with lot code BR 1055 and BEST IF USED BY FEB 24 2023.
• 5-oz individually wrapped packages of Kirkwood Raw Stuffed Chicken Cordon Bleu with lot code CB 1056 and BEST IF USED BY FEB 25 2023.

The recalled products were produced on February 24, 2021, and February 25, 2021. They all bear the establishment number “P- 2375” inside the USDA mark of inspection (view the labels here). These items were shipped to distributors nationwide and sold at ALDI and other grocery retailers.

FSIS is concerned that some of these products may still be in consumers’ freezers. If you have any of them in your possession, you’re urged not to consume them. Simply throw them away or return them to the point of purchase.

Anyone with questions regarding this recall can contact the Serenade Foods Hotline at (866) 873-7589.
