An Indiana-based food manufacturer is recalling more than 59,000 pounds of chicken products that may be contaminated with Salmonella enteritidis, federal health officials said this week. In a food safety alert issued on Wednesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it is investigating a salmonella outbreak linked to the recalled products. “The outbreak strain of salmonella was found in unopened packages of raw frozen breaded stuffed chicken that were collected from a sick person’s home,” the C.D.C. As of Tuesday, at least 28 people in eight states have gotten sick in the outbreak, according to the C.D.C. The frozen, raw and breaded chicken products were produced on Feb. 24 and 25 by Serenade Foods, based in Milford, Ind., and shipped across the country, according to a statement on Monday from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.
