Health officials believe the products are no longer available for consumers to purchase, so a recall was not issued.

The FSIS says one person who contracted Salmonella Hadar had eaten ground turkey from Plainville Brands, and an intact, unopened package of that ground turkey from the patient's home tested positive for Salmonella Hadar.
