In a follow-up on the salmonella outbreak in Iowa linked to chicken salad sold at Fareway stores, the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) puts the confirmed and probable cases at 115, as of Feb. 20.
The chicken salad, which is produced and packaged by a third party for Fareway, is implicated in multiple cases of salmonella illness across Iowa. Preliminary test results from the State Hygienic Laboratory (SHL) at the University of Iowa indicate the presence of salmonella in this product.
Fareway voluntarily stopped the sale of the product and pulled the chicken salad from its shelves after being contacted by the Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals (DIA). No chicken salad has been sold to the consuming public since February 9, 2018.
