The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a warning to consumers to ensure that frozen-chicken products are thoroughly cooked after having investigated illnesses associated with a class of frozen entrées that contain raw chicken.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is requiring that manufacturers of frozen, breaded, boneless or stuffed chicken products indicate on packaging labels if raw chicken is used and that the product must be fully cooked to a minimum temperature of 74°C. The department is also taking steps to ensure that cooking instructions on packaging is clear and effective.
The move comes after an investigation with the state of Minnesota revealed that consumers were taken ill after eating a class of frozen-chicken entrées containing raw chicken which many had not properly cooked because they appear to be already browned.
The FSIS has also issued a warning to consumers to ensure that frozen-chicken products are thoroughly cooked to destroy any food-borne bacteria and they should also contact the manufacturer if following the cooking instructions yields a product that is unacceptable in terms of taste or texture.
