Another Chicken Recall: Aspen Foods Pulls 2 Million Pounds After Reports of Illness

Source: Yahoo

Korin Miller

Aspen Foods is recalling nearly 2 million pounds of frozen, raw, stuffed, and breaded chicken that may be contaminated with salmonella, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Services announcement.

The recall comes after the USDA received reports of three people in Minnesota who became sick from mid-April to late June after eating Aspen products.

The products in question include chicken Cordon Bleu, chicken with broccoli and cheese, chicken Kiev, chicken Parmesan, and buffalo-style chicken. All have the code “P-1358” in the USDA inspection mark.

The products may be labeled under the following brands:

Acclaim
Antioch Farms
Buckley Farms
Centrella Signature
Chestnut Farms
Family Favorites
Kirkwood
Koch Foods
Market Day
Oven Cravers
Rose
Rosebud Farm
Roundy’s
Safeway Kitchens
Schwan’s
Shaner’s
Spartan
Sysco

that it seems since the repugthugs took all that money from the FDA for inspectors that this type of thing has ticked up markedly? Talk about people voting against their own best interest, this what they have wrought. For us all.

but it certainly seems like we're hearing about a lot of recalls lately. And these recalls have been huge. Especially the beef one a while back.

listeria is.

*visual inspection only, same with beef.

That's why people are told to cook that food until its well done, dry and tasteless in case the dip and soak solutions didn't wash off all the salmonella and manure.

That we are talking about and I believe the Barber brand found on the east coast is also included. I never bought these too often but they were good to have in the freezer when you wanted a quick main entree though they are a little greasy to eat all the time for my tastes. Funny thing is I thought about picking up a box of these a few weeks ago (for the first time in years) but opted for frozen battered shrimp instead. I don't remember the word RAW being so prominently displayed when I bought them a few years ago but that is definitely in the label now (I guess to make sure people cook them thoroughly according to directions).

raw chicken from the sales packaging to my freezer packaging. And, of course, I'm a vigilant hand-washer. Salmonella and other shit like it scares me.

Whatever we're talking about, insect, plant or animal, they're all widgets to the factory farmer. In the case of chickens, these widgets shouldn't be expensive to produce so pack them in, feed them cheap GMO soy/corn grown with mutagenic teratogenic glyphsate, grow them fast, feed them antibiotics in their food and water, maybe some growth hormones, too. And the humans who have to process their deaths and put them in packages of course will transfer salmonella sometime, somewhere.

As far as I can tell, the rest of those sell to consumers but Sysco's stuff is sold to restaurants.

It seems like the pathogen is evolving to be stronger and more lethal.
