Food Safety Alert: Salmonella Detected in Frozen Chicken and Turkey Kebab Products
On October 9, 2025, a significant food safety incident was reported involving frozen chicken and turkey kebab products. The Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) has confirmed the presence of Salmonella Infantis, a harmful bacterium that poses serious health risks to consumers.
The affected products originate from Italy and fall under the category of bio-contaminants, indicating a serious concern regarding food safety and public health. Salmonella 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 check their freezers for any frozen chicken and turkey kebab products and to refrain from consuming them until further information is provided. Proper cooking and handling of poultry products are essential to reduce the risk of salmonella infection. It is crucial to ensure that all poultry is cooked to a safe internal temperature and that cross-contamination with other foods is avoided.
This incident highlights the importance of vigilance in food safety practices and the need for ongoing monitoring of food products to protect public health. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
