Chicken sold in Netto stores across the country is being recalled, writes the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration.
The food company True Food ApS is recalling a batch of boneless chicken thighs after salmonella was found in the product.
The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration writes this in a press release on Wednesday.
The product is sold in Netto stores throughout the country, the agency writes.
This specifically concerns the product ‘Everyday Chicken Boneless Chicken Thighs’ with a net content of 300 grams and a best before date of June 19, it says.
“If you have the product, you should discard it or return it to the store where it was purchased,” writes the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration.
Even though the use-by date has passed, some consumers may have chosen to freeze the product for later use.
That is why the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration recommends that you throw away the chicken or return it to the store where you bought it.
Salmonella is a bacterium that causes salmonellosis – a gastrointestinal infection characterized primarily by diarrhea and general malaise.
The illness can last from a few days to several weeks.
“If you experience symptoms in connection with the intake of the product, you should contact your own doctor,” the agency writes in the press release.
You can be at risk of becoming infected with salmonella from a number of foods, such as poultry, pork, beef, and unpasteurized milk.
In Denmark, the risk of getting sick from salmonella from eggs and chicken meat is very small, according to the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration’s website.
Products sold in Denmark are periodically recalled if traces of the bacteria are found.
In March, barbecue-flavored pork rinds sold at the Lidl supermarket were recalled.
This happened due to the risk of salmonella when consuming the pork rinds.
