• CDC, several states, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS) investigated an outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis infections linked to raw, frozen, stuffed and breaded chicken entrees produced by Barber Foods.
  • Fifteen people infected with the outbreak strains of Salmonella Enteritidis were reported from seven states. Four ill people were hospitalized. No deaths were reported.
• CDC’s National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) laboratory conducted antibiotic resistance testing on clinical isolates collected from four ill people infected with the outbreak strains.
  • All four (100%) isolates tested were resistant to ampicillin and tetracycline.
  • Antibiotic resistance may be associated with increased risk of hospitalization, development of a bloodstream infection, or treatment failure in patients.
• Recalls of several brands of frozen, raw, stuffed and breaded chicken entrees produced by Barber Foods were announced as a result of this investigation.
  • On July 12, 2015, Barber Foods issued an expanded recall of approximately 1.7 million pounds of frozen, raw stuffed chicken products that may be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis. This recall expanded the initial Barber Foods recall of chicken Kiev on July 2, 2015.
