It is to be noted that consumption of undercooked or underprocessed chicken or other meats may put one at risk of experiencing foodborne illnesses like Salmonellosis, Listeriosis, and even food poisoning.

A patient affected by such infections may experience stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, severe headaches, vomiting, loss of balance, convulsions, and stiffness in the neck and body. People experiencing any of these symptoms after consuming the recalled products should meet a doctor at the earliest.
