At least one patient reportedly consumed ground turkey from Plainville Brands LLC. An unopened package of ground turkey from the patient’s home was tested and found positive for Salmonella Hadar.

FISIS, the CDC and other public health partners will continue to work to provide updated information on the investigation, the release said.
