Cargill Meat Solutions Corporation announced today that there was an immediate voluntary recall of 36 million pounds of ground turkey due to the possible contamination with salmonella. The Cargill plant is located in Springdale, Arkansas, where they processed the turkey products between February 20th and August 2nd.
The company suspended production of the turkey products at the processing facility until they can determine the cause of the problem and resolve it. The tainted turkey killed one person and made 76 others ill, spanning over 26 states.
“It is regrettable that people may have become ill from eating one of our ground turkey products and, for anyone who did, we are truly sorry,” stated Steve Willardsen, president of Cargill’s turkey processing business. “We go to great lengths to ensure the food we produce is safe and we fully understand that people expect to be able to consume safe food, each serving, every time.”
