2012 Salmonella outbreak traced to Foster Farms chicken
A number of Salmonella illnesses have been traced to Foster farms chicken products, prompting health officials in Oregon and Washington to remind consumers to handle raw chicken properly in the kitchen. There is no recall associated with this health alert, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.
According to the health departments in those two states, there were 43 cases in Oregon and 56 in Washington last year that were linked to a specific strain of Salmonella Heidelberg bacteria found on Foster Farms chicken from farms in Washington and California.
