Heritage Farm chicken drumsticks
1
Two weeks ago, I purchased a pack of Heritage Farm (HF) chicken drumsticks about 4.5 lbs at Kroger in Fort Worth, TX The drumsticks were fresh, didn't have foul smell, some of them even had little icy. I trimmed out some fat, skin with fat and washed them. I cooked the whole package, thinking of eating some, cut up some to give the homeless cats I feed as a "one-in-a-while" treat and keep frozen the rest. After cooking them, I ate 2 drumsticks. Haft hour later, I had diarrhea (3 times). My stomach wasn't happy even after 3 times diarrhea and 1 pink pill. It sounded as my body was fighting with bad bacteria. I had to take another pink pill. At first, I didn't know which of the food items gave me diarrhea because I also ate 1 roll and drank milk (also Kroger's products). I thought maybe I cooked the drumsticks not long enough even though it was boiled for a while. The next day, I got 3 cooked drumsticks out and cooked them again, boiled them 45 more minutes. The meat fell of the bone. I ate them, just the drumsticks only. I got diarrhea again. So, I know for sure that the drumsticks made me diarrhea. I called Kroger and asked if other customers had the same problems because on that day, I saw at least one man who also purchased the HF chicken drumsticks. They got me hold for 10 minutes and finally the customer service lady told me to bring back the package. I told her I already cooked, ate some of it, that's how I know it's contaminated and threw the package out to the trash. They agreed to refund me back to the debit card that I paid for it. Even though Kroger refunded me. I still very much concern about Heritage Farm chicken. Kroger didn't tell me if the other customers got the same problems or not. The bacteria that can resist and survive long boiling like that is very dangerous. I thanked God and am so happy that I didn't give to my homeless cats those drumsticks that day. I don't know if I will buy Heritage Farm chicken again.
