Many frozen breaded chicken products currently on the market are raw and therefore may contain salmonella, the CFIA advises.
"These products may appear to be pre-cooked, but they should be handled and prepared with caution," the agency says.
The CFIA warns that food contaminated with salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick.
People particularly at risk are young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems who could contract serious and sometimes deadly infections.
Common short-term symptoms experienced by healthy people may include fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Long-term complications may include severe arthritis.
