Chicken Kiev Linked To MN Salmonella Outbreak Sold at Cub Foods

Frozen chicken Kiev linked to a Salmonella outbreak that sickened six people in Minnesota was sold at Cub Foods and possibly other stores. Consumers who have purchased Antioch Farms Chicken a al Kiev should not eat it as they could become seriously ill.

Chicken-Kiev-SalmonellaSalmonella is a bacteria frequently found in the intestines of animals and is shed in their feces. When food contaminated with those feces is eaten, an infection called salmonellosis can develop. Symptoms, including fever, abdominal pain and diarrhea, usually develop between six and 72 hours of exposure and last about a week. In some cases, diarrhea may be so severe that hospitalization is required. These patients are at risk for developing a more serious, sometimes fatal, infection that spreads from the intestines to the blood stream.

Illness onset dates for this outbreak ranged from August 17 through September 27. One person in this outbreak was hospitalized.

More than 14 tons of of the frozen chicken product is being recalled by Chicago-based Aspen Foods Division of Koch Meats. The products were sold in five-ounce plastic packets labeled “Raw Stuffed Chicken Breast Breaded, Boneless Breast of Chicken with Rib Meat “A La Kiev” with “sell by” dates of October 1, 2015 and October 7, 2015 and the establishment number “P-1358” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The recalled chicken products were produced July 2, 2014 and July 8, 2014 and shipped to retail stores and distribution centers in Minnesota.  The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA FSIS) has not yet released a list of retailers who carried the product, so the product may have been sold at stores in addition to Cub.
