Jennie-O Recall

Jennie-O Turkey Store Sales recalled 91,388 pounds of raw ground turkey  due to the potential of Salmonella. The Deportment of Argriculture’s Food & Safety and Inspection Services (FSIS) believe an illness outbreak of Salmonella is connected to Jennie-O.

Details of the Jennie-O Recall

The raw ground turkey products were produced on 9/11/18. The following are subject to the recall:

FSIS, the CDC, and state public health and agriculture partners, have been working together on an illness cluster involving 164 case-patients in 35 states. 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. FSIS continues to work with the CDC and state health departments on this investigation and will provide updated information as it becomes available. Based on the continuing investigation, additional product from other companies may also be recalled.
