The recall notice includes a reminder that all poultry should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, and raw meats and ready to eat foods should be kept separate to avoid cross-contamination.

Any time they develop a new perishable item, the corporation includes this step. For questions, call the Contact Center at 1-952-548-1400 seven days a week from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm CT.
