According to the CDC Final Report on the Fareway Salmonella outbreak (updated April 6, 2018), 240 people in Iowa and 15 people in 7 other states were sickened.

The addresses of the Fareway foods stores where the implicated salad was sold have not been published. We do know that Fareway removed this product from its stores, according to the advisory. No chicken salad has been sold from those stores to the public since February 9, 2018.
DIA Food and Consumer Safety Bureau Chief Steven Mandernach said, “The company has been very cooperative and is working with IDPH and DIA in the investigation of the reported illnesses.”
IDPH Medical Director Dr. Patricia Quinlisk said, “The bottom line is that no one should eat this product. If you have it in your refrigerator, you should throw it away.”
