On Friday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Jennie-O Turkey items, that were produced on Oct. 22-23 with freeze-by dates as late as Nov. 13, are subject to recall.
The recalled turkey was shipped to retail locations nationwide, and approximately 164,210 pounds of raw ground turkey products may be contaminated with Salmonella according to officials.
Officials say some patients have reported eating different types and brands of turkey products purchased from many different stores, handling raw turkey pet food and/or raw turkey, or working with live turkeys or living with someone who handled live turkeys.
According to officials, a continuing investigation could have additional products from other companies recalled.
