Frozen Meat Recalled from Walmart Due to Possible Salmonella Contamination
Check your freezer! ⚠
More than 6,400 pounds of frozen meat sold at Walmart have been recalled due to possible salmonella contamination.
George’s Prepared Foods, the company that produces Great Value fully cooked frozen pork sausage and turkey sausage products, said that a small group of these products tested positive for salmonella. Instead of disposing of them, the company accidentally shipped these products nationwide.
According to the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, the recalled products were produced on April 19, 2019, April 27, 2019, May 7, 2019, and May 9, 2019. They have the numbers “EST. M2206T” or “P-2260T” printed on their packaging. The following products have been recalled:
- Great Value Fully Cooked Original Pork Sausage Patties (24.92-oz) with a use-by date of 10/16/19 and a lot code of 1091971894
- Great Value Fully Cooked Original Breakfast Turkey Patties (24.92-oz) with a use-by date of 10/24/19 and a lot code of 1171971897

Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. They should be thrown away or returned to the point of purchase. While there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products, anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.

Too late. Either we have iron stomachs or ours wasnt affected. Thank you!
I’m glad your family wasn’t affected, Mariam!
I agree.. way too late. My recently purchased 1/2 used bag has a use by date of 6/2020. These use by dates would have been sold months ago!
Thanks for the notification, I would have never known if it was up to Walmart!!
You are welcome, Nicole Saegh!
I just bought 5 bags this past Friday!!!! Mine are good til 2020 and they do have the 2260-T but not the P at the beginning….do you guys think they’re fine or should I return them? Btw…2 patties were eaten yesterday and nothing has happened yet!
There is also a recall on ground beef for listeria
Thank you for posting this, just now seeing it but I wonder if anyone knows if this affects their “Great Value” premium sausage that’s fresh? We never get frozen but we did have lasagna the other night with family and now I’m nervous ..have to call tomorrow 😬
