Chicken Salad Salmonella Outbreak
The outbreak of Salmonella from chicken salad has sickened another 265 people in 8 states, including 95 people who were hospitalized and 1 person who died in Iowa, according to an announcement from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on April 6, 2018.
| States | Case Count |
|---|---|
| Illinois | 10 |
| Indiana | 1 |
| Iowa | 240 |
| Minnesota | 4 |
| Mississippi | 1 |
| Nebraska | 5 |
| South Dakota | 3 |
| Wisconsin | 1 |
| Total | 265 |
The CDC interviewed 222 people who were sickened with Salmonella and reported that 87% said they ate chicken salad from a Fareway grocery store before developing symptoms.
“CDC recommends that people do not eat recalled chicken salad. Throw it away or return it to the place of purchase. This investigation is ongoing and we will provide updates when more information is available.”
Chicken Salad Recalled for Salmonella Risk
Triple T Specialty Meats Inc. recalled 20,630 pounds of ready-to-eat chicken salad on February 21, 2018.
The products were produced from January 2 to February 7, 2018. They were recalled due to possible contamination with the bacteria Salmonella Typhimurium, according to the USDA Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS).
All Fareway grocery stores stopped selling Triple T chicken salad on February 9, and the company says it will not re-stock the product until “we are certain the problem has unquestionably been resolved.”
Salmonella Food Poisoning
Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause severe and sometimes fatal food poisoning. The symptoms usually appear within 12 to 72 hours of eating contaminated food, and last for 4 to 7 days.
The symptoms of food poisoning with Salmonella may include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever. Most healthy people recover without treatment, but some people develop severe diarrhea and/or vomiting that causes life-threatening complications like dehydration.
