Two types of SFC's chicken products are being urgently recalled due to fears of contamination with salmonella.
SFC, which is sold in local supermarkets including Tesco, Sainsbury's, and Iceland, is recalling SFC Chicken Poppets and Take Home Boneless Buckets because salmonella has been found in the products.
The Daily Mail reports that chicken used in these products has come from sources in Poland, which have been associated with two strains of salmonella.
The national outlet claims that five people are feared to have died, and hundreds were taken ill, after consuming contaminated chicken imported from Poland in the last year.
That is why it is incredibly important that all residents check their freezers if they have recently bought SFC's products.
The following products with these batch codes and best before dates have been affected by the recall:
Batch codes starting PKW are displayed on the outside of the box. Batch codes starting with an L are displayed on the inner packaging inside the box.
