Hungry Man Recall
On July 20, 2018, certain Hungry Man® dinners were recalled by Pinnacle Foods Inc. due to a risk of Salmonella, according to the USDA Food Safety Inspection Service. No illnesses were reported.
What Hungry Man Dinners Were Recalled?
The recall includes 15.25-oz individual frozen microwavable dinners with “HUNGRY MAN CHIPOTLE BBQ SAUCED BONELESS CHICKEN WYNGZ” on the label, a “Best-By” date of 9/6/19, and establishment number “EST. P138” or “P-138” on the side of the box. They were shipped to stores in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
What is the Problem?
The problem is that certain Hungry Man® dinners contain whey powder, an ingredient that was recalled by Associated Milk Producers, Inc. due to possible Salmonella contamination.
The whey powder was used in ranch dressing seasoning, added to mashed potatoes, and packaged along with a boneless chicken dinner.
Salmonella Recalls
Hungry Man dinners were recalled along with several other products that were also made with whey powder, such as Ritz Bits, Ritz Cracker Sandwiches, Goldfish Crackers, and Swiss Rolls. At least 100 Salmonella illnesses have also been linked to Honey Smacks cereal.
Salmonella Food Poisoning
Salmonella is a bacteria bacteria that commonly causes food poisoning. The symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within 12-72 hours of eating contaminated food. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days, according to the USDA:
“In some persons, however, the diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. Older adults, infants, and persons with weakened immune systems are more likely to develop a severe illness.”
