Recall Alert For New England: Butterball Ground Turkey

Butterball, LLC has recalled 8 different ground turkey products with a use- or sell-by date of July 26, 2018 due to possible Salmonella contamination. Even though these products were packaged by the company 9 months ago, there's still a chance New Englanders and other people across the country may have them in their freezers. However, it's very unlikely any of the products will be found in retail stores, according to Butterball officials.
