Check Your Chicken: Janes Chicken Burger Recall

Oct 27, 2018 | 7:52 AM

Janes brand Pub Style Chicken Burgers have been recalled from the marketplace because of possible salmonella contamination, says the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

Consumers should not consume the chicken burgers, which come in 800-gram packages with a best-before date of May 14, 2019.

The UPC code is 0 69299 12491 0.

In its recall warning the CFIA says Salmonella investigations led by the Public Health Agency of Canada have linked frozen raw breaded chicken products to 25 illnesses in nine provinces one in B.C.

Although no deaths have been reported, it says two people have been hospitalized.

The agency, however, did not say whether any of the illness were directly related to the products being recalled.

It says the recalled items should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased.

Symptoms of Salmonella poisoning typically include fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea, but long-term complications can even include severe arthritis for some people.

The recalled products, which were sold across the country, should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased.
