The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported in 2018 that 4% of packaged chicken in the US are Salmonella infested; that is, 1 in 25 packages of chicken are contaminated with Salmonella. Salmonella is the most common bacteria, and statistics show that up to one million suffer food poisoning from consuming packaged chicken in the US.

The symptoms of Salmonella poisoning include diarrhea, stomach pain, fever, nausea, and vomiting, and can last for up to a week. The symptoms can show as early as six hours after consuming the affected food.

Bill Marler, a food safety lawyer, advised consumers to be careful with consuming meat products. “Sometimes these ready-to-eat, already cooked products can be risky,” Marler told News 19. “Salmonella causes about a million and a half illnesses every year in the United States. You usually get sick within 12 to 72 hours,” he added.

During his interview with News 19, he mentioned Campylobacter, another common bacteria found in chicken and other meat products with similar symptoms to Salmonella, “People with Campylobacter usually are sick within two to four days. Both have similar symptoms, but illnesses from Campylobacter can be much more severe.”
