I was low on money and very hungry, I ended up grabbing some Alaskan Crab Salad since I had it before and figured I would be fine. The onslaught of diarrhea for a day proved otherwise. Great colon cleanser if you're about to get a camera up the butt at the doctor though. 4/10.  | Symptoms: Diarrhea

Organic is when the bird wasn't fed or injected with the growth hormone that makes it become a bigger size faster than usual time, etc, however it doesn't necessarily mean the food is safe to eat. From what I see the colours (an excessive red and dark) of those chicken don't seem normal to me, also the air inside the frozen bag could be an indicator of microbial growth, so it's better not to eat the second one.
