Over 6,000 pounds of ready-to-eat Great Value breakfast sausage and turkey patties are being recalled nationwide due to possible salmonella contamination.
The recalled was issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The problem was discovered when George's Prepared Foods was notified that their third-party storage facility inadvertently shipped the products to commerce, according to the recall release.
The ready-to-eat pork and sausage patties were produced on April 19, April 27, May 7 and May 9, 2019.
