A multidrug-resistant strain of salmonella linked to raw chicken products has sickened nearly 100 people across multiple states, according to the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC). 

The source of the outbreak remains unclear, as a multitude of products which tested positive for the bacteria — including whole chickens, ground chicken and even pet food — did not share a common supplier.

The CDC recommends consumers always handle raw chicken carefully, cook it thoroughly and wash their hands after handling to prevent infections.
