WASHINGTON -- A company out of Robeson County is pulling more than 38,000 pounds of ground turkey.           

The FDA says Prestage Foods' turkey may contain metal shavings.

The fresh ground turkey was produced on Sept. 25 and 26 and sold at Publix and other stores.           

The following products are affected:

  • 1.3-lb. White Styrofoam trays with clear plastic film covering packages containing ground turkey labeled “Publix ground turkey breast WITH NATURAL FLAVORINGS” with ink jet printing on the side of trays displaying the first 4 digits of 7268 and 7269.

  • 1.2-lb. White Styrofoam trays with clear plastic film covering packages containing ground turkey labeled “Fit & Active Fresh Ground Turkey With Natural Flavoring” with ink jet labeling on the side of trays displaying the first 4 digits of 7268 and 7269.

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “P-22000” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The items were shipped to Alabama, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee.

If you've bought any recently, throw the turkey away or take it back to the store for a refund.
