The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has linked No Name brand chicken burgers to a recent outbreak of salmonella infection.

Some have been sold in the Yukon.

The packages were removed from store shelves in June.

They have a best-before date of Feb. 6, 2019 and were sold in one-kilogram packages throughout Canada – including multiple locations in the Yukon, the territorial government said Tuesday.

Symptoms of salmonella infection typically start six to 72 hours after exposure to salmonella bacteria and last for four to seven days.

Symptoms include fever, chills, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, headache, nausea and vomiting.

In healthy individuals, treatment is often not required.

However, in some cases, severe illness and hospitalization may occur.

Those experiencing symptoms or who have underlying medical conditions should contact their health care provider if they suspect they may have salmonella infection. Individuals who are infected can spread the bacteria to others for up to several weeks.

“Across Canada, there have been many illnesses linked to this outbreak, including illness in Yukon,” said Dr. Brendan Hanley, the territory’s chief medical officer of health.

“I encourage Yukoners to look in their freezers to see if they purchased these No Name chicken burgers, and if you did, you are advised to place them in a plastic bag and dispose of them in the garbage or return the package to the store where it was purchased.

“If you do not have the original packaging and are unsure if it is a recalled product, throw it out to be safe.

“Even though these types of frozen chicken products may appear to be pre-cooked, they contain raw chicken and should be handled and prepared no differently from other raw poultry products.”
