Turkey Burger Recall: Salmonella Strain Resitant to Antibiotics

Affecting 12 people in 10 states who bought the product from Sam's Club stores, according to CBS Los Angeles:

The salmonella strain that prompted a recall of nearly 55,000 pounds of frozen raw turkey burgers last week is resistant to many commonly prescribed antibiotics, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. ...

The recall includes four-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.

I am a regular purchaser of Jennie-O's products at Sam's, but only of the 93% lean ground meat in 5 pound packaging.

The only thing I've noticed that's different about the product I buy is the price has gone up!
