The contamination involves more than 200,000 lbs. of ground turkey produced by
Plainville Brands,
Nature's Promise, and
Wegman, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service, reports Patch.com.
More than two dozen cases of salmonella poisoning have been confirmed in 12 states since late December, Patch.com reports.
Centers for Disease Control says the two New Jersey residents who got sick from eating the contaminated ground turkey had to be hospitalized for treatment.
The most common symptoms from salmonella, which can last anywhere from four days to a week, include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within six hours of ingestion, according to CDC.gov.
