Butterball, LLC of North Carolina is recalling approximately 14,107 pounds of ground turkey products that may be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically blue plastic, the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

The following products are subject to recall:

The ground turkey items were produced on September 28th. The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. P-7345” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide.    

The problem was discovered when FSIS and the establishment received consumer complaints reporting pieces of blue plastic embedded in raw ground turkey produced by Est. 7345.

There have been no confirmed reports of injuries due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.  

There are concerns some product may be in consumers’ freezers and/or refrigerators. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them but to throw them away or returned to the place of purchase.
