Jenni-O Recalls Ground Turkey Products Due Salmonella Contamination.

The recalled products include one-pound packages of:

• Jenni-O’s 93% lean ground turkey
• Jenni-O’s 85% lean ground turkey.
• Jenni-O’s taco seasoned ground turkey.
• Jenni-O’s Italian seasoned ground turkey.

The recalled products have a best by date of October 1^st and October 2^nd, but officials fear some people may still have them in their freezers.

Salmonella is a bacteria that can cause a serious infection.  The elderly, children and those with weak immune systems can have serious and even fatal complications.

If you have eaten the recalled product and are experiencing any of these symptoms, seek medical attention right away.
