I don't think I have purchased any chicken from FF before. Actually, I don't think I've purchased any chicken at all in the last couple months. Whatever chicken I do have is frozen away. </p> <p>Sucks that it started in the west coast. I wonder what restaurants we eat at used that chicken.</p> <p>ETA- looks likes it just linked to FF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chicken-contamination-outbreak-please-read#post-1138241 Tue, 08 Oct 2013 13:03:53 +0000 Running Elley 1138241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh..
