some of the chicken salad was eaten or served and no one got sick, throw the rest of it away, including any chicken salad in your freezer. Put it in a sealed bag in the trash so that children, pets or other animals can’t eat it.
Wash and sanitize countertops as well as drawers or shelves in refrigerators or freezers where recalled chicken salad was stored.
If you don’t remember the date when you purchased chicken salad from Fareway, don’t eat it. Throw it away or return it to the place of purchase.
“Unfortunately, far too many people have experienced the debilitating effects of Salmonella, which causes disease via largely unexplained processes,” says NIAID Director Dr. Anthony S. Fauci.
Salmonella is the most common cause of foodborne illnesses in the United States. Infection with Salmonella can cause diarrhea, nausea, fever, and headache. In people with weakened immune systems, including people with HIV, the symptoms of Salmonella infection are more severe than in people with healthy immune systems.
