Jennie-O recalls nearly 55,000 pounds of frozen ground turkey
Jennie-O Turkey Store is recalling nearly 55,00 pounds of frozen, raw turkey burgers that may be contaminated with Salmonella, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said Saturday.
The recall pertains to packages of "All Natural Turkey Burgers with seasonings Lean White Meat" with a "use by" date of December 23, 2011, the FSIS said on its website.

The ground turkey, which comes in 4-pound boxes containing 12 patties, is sold exclusively at Sam's Club, Jennie-O said on its recall website.
Consumers who have purchased the product should not consume it. They can return it to a Sam’s Club store for a full refund, Jennie-O said.
An investigation of a Salmonella outbreak  in 10 states found three people in Colorado, Ohio, and Wisconsin reported eating the Jennie-O ground turkey before they became ill, leading the FSIS to determine there is a link between the product and the outbreak, the agency said on its website.
The last of these illnesses was reported on March 14, 2011.
Consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial foodborne illnesses. Salmonella infections can be life-threatening, especially to those with weak immune systems, such as infants, the elderly, and persons with HIV infection or undergoing chemotherapy. The most common symptoms of the illness caused by eating food contaminated with Salmonella are diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever, according to the FSIS. Additional symptoms may be chills, headache, nausea and vomiting that can last up to seven days.

@Sunshine Girl: Hi 😉 you come on here often?
Stop making ground meat products and your problem is over. Notice it's GROUND turkey, not whole. The more stages in the food product, the more chance there is for humans to screw things up by their selfishness and stupidity. For crying out loud... we had salmonella in PEANUT BUTTER! In America, no less! Buy your peanuts whole, grind 'em yourself, and be done with it. Same with turkey... or beef. "If you want it done right, you gotta do it yourself!"
Put that finger in Gadalfi's bu/tt. I hear he likes it

This is not funny. We were counting on that chicken to hold down food prices.
@Chosen: I'm a turkey not a chicken. Unless you're saying all us birds look alike? Way to stereotype.
