Contaminated deli-style turkey made by Pilgrim’s Pride Corp. was the “most likely source” of a listeria outbreak that has caused at least seven deaths, health officials said.
Pilgrim’s Pride on Sunday launched the nation’s largest meat recall to withdraw 27.4 million pounds of fresh and frozen ready-to-eat turkey and chicken products.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said tests of equipment at the company’s plant in Franconia, Pa., found the same listeria strain linked to the illnesses.
