Butterball is recalling 39 tons of turkey because it might be tainted with salmonella.

Butterball is recalling 39 tons of turkey because it might be tainted with salmonella. The recalled ground poultry products were produced on July 7th of 2018 and were shipped to institutional and retail locations nationwide. Because these products were packaged nine months ago, officials say it’s unlikely any of the product will be found in retail stores, but it is possible that consumers may have product in their freezers. The CDC has been investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella involving 5 case-patients, 4 of which lived in the same household. Officials are concerned that some of the recalled product may still be frozen and in consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them.

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. P-7345” inside the USDA mark of inspection. The prepackaged raw turkey was produced on July 7, 2018, which could impact the following products:
