Millions of pounds of minced chicken meat are being recalled from grocery stores across the country after health officials warned that the meat may be contaminated with salmonella. In a statement released on Wednesday, the United States Department of Agriculture said that consumers who have purchased minced chicken meat should not eat it, and should instead return it to the store where it was bought for a refund.

The recall includes all brands of minced chicken meat, including Tyson, Perdue, Pilgrim's Pride and Sanderson Farms. So far, there have been no reports of anyone getting sick from eating the tainted meat, but the USDA is advising consumers to take caution.

Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause food poisoning and severe abdominal cramps. Symptoms usually develop within 12 to 72 hours after exposure and can last for several days. In some cases, especially among pregnant women and young children, salmonella can lead to more serious health complications such as dehydration and even death.

The recall comes just days after a Chinese restaurant in Pennsylvania was fined for selling minced chicken meat that was over the expiration date. The woman who ate the tainted meat at the party later contracted food poisoning.

In response to the recent outbreaks of food-borne illness, the school board in Monmouth County, New Jersey has voted to remove all minced chicken meat from the school lunch menu. Superintendent Dr. Rocco Tomazic said that while there have been no reported cases of food poisoning linked to school lunches, he wants to be proactive in protecting students' health.

Mincemeat is a popular ingredient in a variety of dishes, including tacos, sliders and salads. It is also often used as a stuffing for poultry or fish. However, due to its high risk for contamination with bacteria such as salmonella, E coli and listeria, health officials are warning consumers not to eat any type of minced chicken meat unless it has been properly cooked all the way through.
