“FSIS Public Health Alert: Frozen Raw Breaded Stuffed Chicken Products May Contain Salmonella Enteritidis.” GovInfoNow, updated October 6, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/1275189-fsis-public-health-alert-frozen-raw-breaded-stuffed-chicken-products. Based on USDA FSIS recall #PHA-06022021 (https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/fsis-issues-public-health-alert-frozen-raw-breaded-stuffed-chicken-products-due).

Why it’s dangerous

Salmonella Enteritidis bacteria can cause foodborne illness if the chicken products are not cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F. The products may appear ready-to-eat but are actually raw and require proper cooking to kill harmful bacteria.

Who’s affected

Consumers who purchased frozen, raw, breaded stuffed chicken products labeled as chicken cordon bleu, chicken with broccoli and cheese, or chicken Kiev are most at risk. Older adults, infants, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop severe illness from salmonellosis.

How to tell if you have this one

Look for products labeled 'chicken cordon bleu', 'chicken with broccoli and cheese', or 'chicken Kiev' that are frozen, raw, breaded, and pre-browned. These products may be sold in retail stores and require cooking before consumption.
