Jennie-O Turkey Store in Willmar has
recalled nearly 55,000 pounds of frozen, raw turkey burgers because
the meat may have been contaminated with Salmonella, federal
officials said.


      Jennie-O said the product was distributed nationwide but sold
only at Sam's Club Stores.


      The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection
Service announced the recall Saturday. The USDA could expand the
recall as it continues to investigate illnesses connected to
products from the Willmar-based turkey processing company, 


      So far, 12 people in Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia,
Illinois, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Washington and Wisconsin
have become ill over the last four months.


      The recall includes 4-pound boxes of Jennie-O's "All Natural
Turkey Burgers with seasonings Lean White Meat." Each box contains
12 individually wrapped burgers. The packages have a use-by date of
Dec. 23, 2011, and identifying lot codes of "32710" through
"32780."


      The products were packaged on Nov. 23.


      Jennie-O said the products were sold only at Sam's Club. The
company said consumers should not eat the turkey burgers, but
should return them to a Sam's Club store for a refund.
