Walmart Recall In North Orange County: 6,400 Lbs Of Frozen Meat

WESTMINSTER, CA — Attention Walmart shoppers: More than 6,400 pounds of meat have been recalled for possible salmonella contamination.

Stores in Orange County are part of a nationwide recall of some 6,444 pounds of ready-to-eat pork sausage patties and turkey sausage patties from George’s Prepared Foods, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Monday.

The government safety organization is urging customers who bought the now-recalled items not to eat them.

George’s Prepared Foods, which produces fully cooked meat under Walmart’s Great Value brand, found a small number of items tested positive for salmonella in its facility.

The company's plan to dispose of the contaminated items was foiled after a third-party cold storage facility inadvertently shipped the ready-to-eat products nationwide.

Here are the products subject to recall, according to inspectors:

Great Value Fully Cooked Original Pork Sausage Patties

• Use-by date: 10/16/19
• Lot code: 1091971894

Great Value Fully Cooked Original Breakfast Turkey Patties

• Use-by date: 10/24/19
• Lot code: 1171971897

Family Size Great Value Fully Cooked Original Pork Sausage Patties

• Use-by date: 11/03/19 and 11/05/19
• Lot code: 1271972894 and 1291972894

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions from the consumption of these products, officials said.

Symptoms of salmonella include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within 12 to 72 hours of eating a contaminated product. Most people, though, can recover after four to seven days without treatment.
