The Public Health Agency of Canada has announced a national outbreak of salmonella linked to certain Compliments-brand chicken strips. The breaded chicken strips, distributed by Sofina Foods of Markham, Ont., were recalled on Friday. "When not thoroughly cooked, frozen breaded chicken products containing raw chicken pose an increased health risk to individuals who handle, prepare or consume them. Safe cooking practicesAll frozen, raw breaded chicken products need to be cooked to an internal temperature of at least 74 C (165 F) and handled safely. What's more, microwave cooking of frozen, raw, breaded chicken products — including chicken nuggets, strips, burgers, popcorn chicken or chicken fries — is not recommended because of the possibility of uneven heating.
