The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is investigating a possible salmonella contamination tied to raw kosher chicken.
17 people have fallen ill and 1 has died since September 17. According to WebMD, the CDC interviewed 14 of the victims in connection with this outbreak, and all of the affected indicate that they had eaten chicken prior to being struck by food poisoning. Food safety investigators found a strain of salmonella at two processing plants, one of which handles the Empire brand. This has led the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service to issue a health alert on raw chicken produced by Empire Kosher Poultry, Inc.
Cases of salmonella poisoning have been reported in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, and Virginia.
