Almost 40,000 Pounds of Foster Farms Chicken Strips Recalled

Foster Farms just can’t catch a break. In July, they had a voluntary recall after traces of salmonella were found in their chicken. Now they are recalling almost 40,000 pounds of chicken strips due to possible listeria contamination.

The Times reported that the 3.5-pound bags of frozen, precooked chicken breast strips are the ones in question. More specifically, the bags with an August 15, 2015, “best by” date.

The contamination was found as the plant was going through a routine inspection, but the set-aside chicken was carelessly shipped out to retailers in California, Texas, Utah and Washington state last month.

There have not been any reported cases of anyone getting sick from the chicken, but listeria  usually affects the elderly, pregnant women, newborns and people with weakened immune systems.

So if you did eat the chicken and get a fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, lose your balance or even just a tummy ache, you might want to see the doc.
