The Cargill meat company is recalling 36 million pounds of turkey as a result of the salmonella outbreak reported this week. The US Agriculture Department and Cargill announced Wednesday evening that the company is recalling fresh and frozen ground turkey products produced at the Springdale, Ark. Plant between February 20 and August 2.
AzFamily.com reports that all of the packages recalled include the code “Est P-963.” But the packages were labeled under many different brands, including Honeysuckle White, Safeway and Kroger.
Cargill officials say all ground turkey production has been suspended at the Springdale plant until the exact source of the contamination is determined.
One death and 76 illnesses have been connected to the salmonella outbreak, including two illnesses in Arizona.
