Not familiar with the brands. Any idea which states are affected?
It doesn’t say but the source is a station in Buffalo, looks like.
We have Plainville sliced/pressed turkey in No. Virginia. It is very tasty.
I’m assuming (also checking) that it applies only to “ground” turkey meat and not other forms.
At least the article gave the production date range which is crucial for checking a product.
On their sealed package Hickory Smoked Organic Turkey Breast (sliced) there is no production date, only a USE BY date. This sliced turkey says: Organic Turkey Raised is never ever given antibiotics: Organic Ono-GMO Vegetarian Diet Fed; No Added Growth Hormones; Humanely Raised; Free Range, Gluten Free and Casein Free. FULLY COOKED, Ready To Eat., Distributed by Plainville Brands, LLC, New Oxford, PA. KEEP REFRIGERATED.
I feel safe eating this product. Ground meats can be the problem re Salmonella. Check your ground turkey information label printed out by the store you got it from.
Just to be safe!
“Not familiar with the brands.”
Wegmans is a grocery store chain. Not sure how extensive they are but we’ve visited one in Alexandria VA (where our kid is stationed). The store itself is huge. It’s not just a grocery store, but offers a small restaurant, coffee bar and many in-store specialty items.
BUT, their main claim to fame is their huge/really big/extensive line of pre-made meal offerings...all made on-site, I think. Anything from sandwiches, cheeses, salads, meat entrees, side items, bread, dessert. You name it, it’s been made (many pre-cooked), trayed up and covered in plastic wrap....complete with cooking instructions. All you have to do is take it home and pop it in the oven. You can buy their pre-wrapped food items or you can line up along their 3 or 4 long food bars and dish out your own...and then pay by the pound!
We’ve gone by a couple of times to pick up a complete meal while visiting up there. But we don’t go there now because it’s ridiculously expensive. The price was quick to wear the novelty off.
Another thing about it...I just couldn’t shake the feeling that, with all the open-air food and handling...it was a case of salmonella just waiting to happen.
