More ground turkey is being recalled after approximately 185,000 pounds have been affected.
Cargill Value Added Meats Retail, based out of Wichita, is voluntarily recalling the meat that was produced in the Springdale Arkansas facility on August 23, 24, 30, and 31. The company says the turkey was possible contaminated with Salmonella Heidelberg.
The USDA has confirmed at least one sample was contaminated.
The company’s website states, "[o]ut of an abundance of caution, we are acting quickly in response to USDA’s sample testing. Although there are no known illnesses associated with this positive sample, it is the same Salmonella Heidelberg strain that resulted in our voluntary recall on Aug. 3, 2011. As a result of this latest USDA test result, we have suspended ground turkey production at our Arkansas facility until additional measures can be identified, approved by USDA, then implemented, which is similar to the process we previously employed when working with the agency."
