An alert regarding a massive recall of frozen chicken products has just been issued by the US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service. The recall is due to possible contamination from a nasty bacteria that can cause severe and even life-threatening symptoms in some individuals. However, unlike many such recalls, this alert doesn't apply to food that was sold through grocery stores or other retail locations. Instead, the issue is isolated to chicken that was distributed via food banks in one state through the USDA's Farmers to Families Food Box program.
Over 130,000 pounds of frozen but fully cooked, diced chicken is included in this recall, and the bacteria posing the danger is Listeria monocytogenes. Listeria infection, called listeriosis, is a foodborne illness that can take on a variety of forms with symptoms ranging from fever and nausea to more severe problems like convulsions and, in the case of pregnant women, miscarriages and premature delivery.
