US agriculture department receives reports of Salmonella in Minnesota
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) has received reports of Salmonella-related cases in the US state.
The MDA issued a consumer advisory after the state investigated a product called whole-muscle turkey jerky, which has been linked to four cases of illnesses caused by the Salmonella bacteria.
According to the MDA, the jerky was supplied by the Hoffman Town and Country Meat Market. The meat market issued a recall of the product sold on or before August 21, 2012 and wrapped in white butcher's paper. Consumers were also warned not to eat any remaining products and to return them for a full refund.
