Food Safety Alert: Salmonella Enteritidis Detected in Chicken Varieties
On November 27, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving various types of chicken. The Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed portal (RASFF) has confirmed the presence of Salmonella Enteritidis, a harmful bacterium that poses serious health risks to consumers.
This contamination has been traced back to chicken products originating from Poland. Salmonella Enteritidis is known to cause foodborne illnesses, leading to symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. Vulnerable populations, including young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems, are particularly at risk.
Consumers are advised to exercise caution when handling and preparing chicken. It is essential to cook chicken thoroughly to an internal temperature of at least 165°F (75°C) to effectively kill harmful bacteria. Additionally, proper hygiene practices, such as washing hands, utensils, and surfaces after contact with raw chicken, are crucial in preventing cross-contamination.
Food safety authorities are actively monitoring the situation and are working to ensure that contaminated products are removed from the market. Consumers who have purchased chicken varieties from the affected region are urged to check for any advisories and to discard any products that may be linked to this incident.
Stay informed and prioritize food safety to protect yourself and your loved ones from potential health hazards.
