Ground turkey meat is the culprit of sand bacteria poisoning in 26 states. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) stated that salmonella poisoning incidents have occurred in 26 states in the United States, resulting in one death and 76 people seeking medical treatment for illness. The CDC said the possible culprit was ground turkey contaminated with salmonella. The CDC issued a statement on the evening of the 1st, saying: "Since March 1 to August 1, 77 people have been infected with Salmonella Heidelberg. Ground turkey may be the source of the disease." The CDC stated that this deadly bacteria was discovered decades ago. "This bacteria is resistant to common antibiotics. Therefore, infected people must be hospitalized and treatment may not be effective." The federal Department of Agriculture has not named the manufacturer of the product and has not issued a recall notice. The CDC did not disclose the state in which the deceased lived, nor did it release other details about the deceased. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was aware of cases of salmonella contamination of ground turkey in March. Between March 7 and June 27, the CDC conducted bacterial culture tests on products at four retail locations and found that three samples came from the same manufacturer, but the center did not disclose the names of the manufacturer and retailer. It is the responsibility of the Ministry of Agriculture to control meat safety. If meat needs to be recalled, it must be ordered by the Ministry of Agriculture. The Department of Agriculture issued a warning over the weekend asking people to cook turkey meat thoroughly before eating it, but did not release any information on the source of the contamination. Cases of this infection are almost scattered across the country. The most cases are in Michigan and Ohio, with ten cases each, Texas has nine cases, Illinois has seven, California has six, and Pennsylvania has five. States with one to three cases include Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nebraska, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee and Wisconsin.
