Breaded and stuffed raw chicken products have been the cause of 14 outbreaks and over 200 foodborne illnesses since 1988. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) will declare Salmonella as an adulterant in breaded and stuffed raw chicken products. Some of these products in the food appeared to be cooked, but were only heat treated to set the batter and breading, or still raw. “Food safety is at the heart of everything,” says Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack. “This is an important first step in launching a broader initiative to reduce Salmonella illnesses associated with poultry in the U.S.”
