Walmart brand breakfast meats being recalled
Some ready-to-eat pork and turkey products sold under Walmart’s Great Value brand are being pulled off shelves due to possible salmonella contamination.
George’s Prepared Foods, a Tennessee-based company, is recalling more than 6,000 pounds of a ready-to-eat pork sausage patty and turkey sausage patty products.
The products were recalled after the firm notified the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service that its third-party cold storage facility had inadvertently shipped the foods to stores nationwide.

To date, there have been no reports of anyone getting sick from eating the products.
However, eating ready-to-eat food that is contaminated with salmonella can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial foodborne illnesses, according to the agency.
