More than 6,400 pounds of frozen meat sold at Walmart have been recalled due to possible salmonella contamination.
George’s Prepared Foods, the company that produces Great Value fully cooked frozen pork sausage and turkey sausage products, said that a small group of these products tested positive for salmonella. Instead of disposing of them, the company accidentally shipped these products nationwide.
According to the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, the recalled products were produced on April 19, 2019, April 27, 2019, May 7, 2019, and May 9, 2019. They have the numbers “EST. M2206T” or “P-2260T” printed on their packaging. The following products have been recalled:
- Great Value Fully Cooked Original Pork Sausage Patties (24.92-oz) with a use-by date of 10/16/19 and a lot code of 1091971894
