Cargill's turkey-processing plant in Arkansas has issued another recall, this time for 185,000 pounds of ground turkey.
The first recall, issued Aug. 3, was for 36 million pounds because of potential contamination with Salmonella Heidelberg. That problem may have persisted for months before the recall and plant closure for a major cleaning and sanitation.
It reopened Aug. 16, but now the same strain of Salmonella Heidelberg has been found in ground turkey from the plant.
This time there have been no reports of anyone getting sick after eating Cargill's ground hamburger. The first time there were 111 reported illnesses in 31 states.
Let's hope the Cargill managers of poultry-processing plants in Ontario are doing a better job.
