Reser’s Fine Foods Issues Recall of Meal Kits Due to Recalled Chicken
October 14th, 2024
Reser’s Fine Foods has voluntarily recalled a limited number of their meal kits after a supplier-recalled chicken was found in their products. This precautionary measure comes after concerns of potential contamination, although no related illnesses have been reported so far.
The recall affects several meal kit products distributed across multiple states. The FDA warns that the chicken in question could be contaminated with harmful bacteria, such as Salmonella, which can cause serious foodborne illnesses. Symptoms of infection include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever, which can be more severe for young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
The affected meal kits were distributed through various retailers across the United States. Reser’s Fine Foods has provided a list of impacted product codes, urging consumers to check their meal kits carefully. Those in possession of any of the recalled kits are advised not to consume them and to return them to the store for a full refund.
Consumers are encouraged to verify whether their purchased meal kits are part of the recall by checking the packaging and product codes. Reser’s Fine Foods is coordinating with the FDA to ensure that all affected products are removed from store shelves. Retailers are also instructed to alert consumers and take the necessary steps to prevent further sales of the recalled products.
Additionally, anyone experiencing symptoms after consuming these products should seek medical attention and report the incident to their local health department. Proper disposal of contaminated food products is recommended to prevent any potential spread of harmful bacteria.
Consumers seeking further information or assistance can visit the FDA website or contact Reser’s Fine Foods directly for more details about the recall, including a full list of affected products and instructions on how to receive a refund.
