Salmonella Infantis in chilled chicken thigh fillets from Hungary
EU food safety notification · Information · for attention
Is this a consumer recall?
No. RASFF is how food safety authorities in Europe exchange information about risks in food and feed. Information shared through RASFF can lead to products being recalled, but consumer recall notices with brand names are published nationally. An information notification for attention means a risk was found in a food, but the product is only in the notifying country, was never placed on the market, or is no longer on the market. This notification is no longer among the newest RASFF notifications this site checks; open the official notification for any follow-up.
What did this RASFF notification report?
Salmonella Infantis in chilled chicken thigh fillets from Hungary. Risk decision: potentially serious. Notification type: information notification for attention.
What should I do?
RASFF Window summaries do not name brands, batches or retailers, so a product in your kitchen cannot be matched to this notification alone. Check your national food safety authority's recall page or the retailer for brand-level consumer recalls, and follow their instructions if a notice names a product you have.
Can I check a specific product against this notification?
RASFF Window does not publish brand names, business operators, batch or lot numbers. Do not treat a similar product as affected or unaffected based on this summary; national recall notices carry the brand-level details.

An information notification for attention means a risk was found in a food, but the product is only in the notifying country, was never placed on the market, or is no longer on the market.
Potentially serious: a risk was identified, but when the notice was sent there wasn't enough evidence or consensus to call it serious, and a serious risk can't be ruled out.
