Cargill Meat Solutions Corporation announced Wednesday an instantaneous voluntary recall of around 36 million pounds of ground turkey meat mainly because it could possibly be contaminated with salmonella bacteria.

 

Cargill's plant in Springdale, Arkansas, processed the suspect fresh and frozen ground turkey products between February 20 and August 2, the firm said in a news release.

 

Federal health authorities said Tuesday that outbreak of multi-drug-resistant Salmonella Heidelberg that's killed one individual and sickened 76 others in 26 states is traced to ground turkey products.

The strain of Salmonella Heidelberg in question is identical to that of an outbreak of Salmonellosis that resulted in an August 3, 2011 recall of ground turkey products. Although a sample tested positive for the outbreak related strain of Salmonella, including the identical XbaI and BlnI PFGE patterns matching the August 3 outbreak strain, at this time, neither FSIS nor the plant is aware of any illnesses associated with product from the above dates. An FSIS incident investigation team collected samples at the establishment following the previous recall. Today's recall occurred after a product sample collected on August 24 tested positive for the outbreak strain of Salmonella Heidelberg. The firm is recalling product from August 30 based on pending positive match samples. The products subject to recall are derived from bone-in parts.
