Giant food recall of turkey products over salmonella fears

Cargill has recalled 36 million pounds of ground turkey in the largest food recall in US history. A full list of the products affected is at the link. People across the United States had issues:

The states reporting the highest number sickened are Michigan and Ohio, with 10 each. Texas has reported nine illnesses; Illinois, seven; California, six; and Pennsylvania, five.

Other states with at least one illness are Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee and Wisconsin.

The recall affects more than 25 different types of ground turkey. All of the packages in question contain the code "Est. P-963," according to Cargill. The packages were labeled with many different brands, including popular ones like Honeysuckle White and Shady Brook Farms.

If you have, as we do, wild turkeys on your property, they might be a better bet.
