Outbreaks of Salmonella Infections Linked to Raw Chicken Including Frozen Raw Chicken Products

The Public Health Agency of Canada is collaborating with provincial and territorial public health partners, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Health Canada to investigate outbreaks of Salmonella infections across Canada linked to raw chicken, including frozen raw breaded chicken products.

When not thoroughly cooked, frozen breaded chicken products containing raw chicken pose an increased health risk to individuals who handle, prepare or consume them.

For more information on the ongoing investigation, who is most at risk, prevention, and salmonella infection symptoms, check the Public Health Notice on the Public Health Agency of Canada website, and Preparing Fresh or Frozen Raw Breaded Chicken resource on the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care website.
