The Food Standards Agency and Public Health England are reminding people to take care when handling and cooking frozen raw breaded chicken products at home, such as nuggets, goujons, dippers, poppers and kievs.
This comes as we investigate a rise in cases of two particular strains of Salmonella Enteritidis (a food poisoning bug) linked to frozen raw breaded processed chicken products. Two product recalls have been undertaken, however further investigations are ongoing.
Nick Phin, Deputy Director of PHE’s National Infection Service, said:
‘From January 2020 there have been 390 cases of Salmonellosis caused by two strains of Salmonella Enteritidis linked to frozen, raw, breaded chicken products.
‘Salmonella generally causes a mild illness, although vulnerable groups like children under five years, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems may experience more severe illness. Symptoms of a Salmonella infection include diarrhoea, stomach cramps and sometimes vomiting and fever. Anyone who is concerned about symptoms should contact their GP or out of hours service in the first instance.’
Colin Sullivan, Chief Operating Officer, FSA said:
‘You should always check the cooking instructions on food packaging, as different brands of the same product might have different instructions. Cooking food at the right temperature and for the correct length of time will ensure that any harmful bacteria are killed.
‘We’re not asking you to make changes to the food you buy, but we are asking you to always follow good hygiene practices to help reduce the risk of food poisoning to you and your family.’
Top food hygiene tips:
Always carefully check the advice on food packaging and follow the cooking instructions provided
If the packaging advises the product should be thawed/defrosted before cooking, follow the instructions
Consume or freeze food by its use-by date
Wash your hands with soap and water after touching raw chicken products and before you handle ready-to-eat food
Avoid cross-contamination by cleaning any surface, plate or utensil that has been in contact with raw meat
Salmonella is a common bacteria that can cause food poisoning. Salmonella can be found in raw meat (processed and unprocessed), undercooked poultry and unpasteurised milk. Inadequate cooking and cross-contamination in the kitchen during food preparation can lead to Salmonellosis.
The following recalls are linked to this Salmonella outbreak:
Listeria valentina sp. nov., isolated from a water trough and the faeces of healthy sheep
In the context of a study on the occurrence of Listeriaspecies in an animal farm environment in Valencia, Spain, six Listeria-like isolates could not be assigned to any known species.
Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene and on 231 Listeriacore genes grouped these isolates in a monophyletic clade within the genus Listeria, with highest similarity to Listeria thailandensis.
Whole-genome sequence analyses based on in silico DNA–DNA hybridization, the average nucleotide blast and the pairwise amino acid identities against all currently known Listeriaspecies confirmed that these isolates constituted a new taxon within the genus Listeria.
Phenotypically, these isolates differed from other Listeriaspecies mainly by the production of acid from inositol, the absence of acidification in presence of methyl α-d-glucoside, and the absence of α-mannosidase and nitrate reductase activities. The name Listeria valentina sp. nov. is proposed for this novel species, and the type strain is CLIP 2019/00642T (=CIP 111799T=DSM 110544T).
Do not consume and return to the point of sale for reimbursement.
Aflatoxins are mycotoxins which can be present in different products such as cereals, coffee, rice, dried rasisins and dried fruits. Only a large quantity of contaminated products can lead to health problems. People with hepatitis are sensitive to aflatoxins.
