PLEASANTON (dpa-AFX) - Safeway Inc. (SWY) said Friday that it is voluntarily recalling a limited number of products made with chicken supplied by Foster Farms sold with 'Use or Freeze By' dates ranging from March 17 through March 29.
This is in cooperation with the Foster Farms voluntary recall of products that may have been contaminated with Salmonella Heidelberg, Safeway said.
Safeway said the items were sold in March in five states from both the self-service and full-service meat cases in stores. Because the items were sold fresh, they are no longer available in stores. However, customers are asked to check their freezers for the products.
The recall includes all marinated or seasoned fresh chicken products sold from the self-service or full-service counter in Northern California, Hawaii, Northern Nevada, Oregon and Western Washington State with 'Use or Freeze By' dates ranging from March 17 through March 29.
Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
