"Thanksgiving turkey this year might come with a side of food poisoning"

"One person is dead and at least 164 people have fallen ill in the US in connection with a salmonella outbreak in turkey products spanning 35 states.

"The outbreak was first detected last November. It is particularly ill-timed as the Thanksgiving holiday, for which Americans buy more than 48 million turkeys each year, takes place Nov. 22.

“The outbreak strain of salmonella…is present in live turkeys and in many types of raw turkey products, indicating it might be widespread in the turkey industry,” says the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in a statement."
