Why: Salmonella
Sold by: Walmart
The details: George's Prepared Foods, maker of Walmart's Great Value meat products, recalled 6,444 pounds of turkey and pork sausage patties that Walmart sells fully cooked and frozen, which was identified as being possibly contaminated with salmonella. The bacteria can infect humans and cause them to get ill with fevers, cramps, and diarrhea. If a salmonella infection spreads beyond the intestines and into the bloodstream, it could lead to death.
The US Department of Agriculture announced the recall of three products (Great Value Fully Cooked Original Pork Sausage Patties, Great Value Fully Cooked Original Breakfast Turkey Patties, and Family Size Great Value Fully Cooked Original Pork Sausage Patties) on October 18.
