The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have each issued a public health alert out of an abundance of caution due to concerns about Salmonella illnesses reported in the northeastern and mid-Atlantic United States that may be associated with raw chicken products. We have been cooperating fully with the USDA and the CDC on this matter. The Empire® brand takes food safety and the health of our consumers very seriously. Throughout our 80-year history, we have worked with relentless focus to ensure the quality and safety of our products and continue to do so.
The CDC is not advising that consumers avoid eating Empire® brand chicken and no products have been recalled or withdrawn from the marketplace. As with any poultry, when handled and prepared properly, including thoroughly cooking as instructed, our products pose no risk to consumers.
Empire® brand, along with the USDA and the CDC, want to remind consumers of safe handling practices for all raw chicken. When handled and cooked properly to 165°F, consumers can continue to have full confidence in chicken products. If you live in the areas identified and have any questions please call 1-877-627-2803 to speak with an Empire® Consumer Specialist.
