Thanksgiving is in less than a week and a possible outbreak of Salmonella could upset the dinner plans of American families.

Jennie-O Turkey Store announced in a tweet on Thursday that the company had to recall more than 91,000 pounds of its raw ground turkey products.

The decision comes after the Center for Disease Control (CDC) issued a notice on November 8 that Salmonella contamination from turkey products had caused the disease of 164 people in 35 states. Sixty-three people were hospitalized and one death was reported in California.

Affected States include: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin.

"This information could save lives and help consumers take the necessary precautions to prevent their loved ones from getting sick," said Jean Halloran, Consumer Policy Initiatives director for Consumer Reports.

A few hours later, the USDA reported that Jennie-O turkey products made on September 11 could be contaminated. It is unclear whether other brands have been affected or not.

The following products are likely to be recalled, according to the USDA:

• Packets of 1 pound of Jennie-O minced turkey at 93% lean / 7% fat bearing the expiry dates of 01/10/2018 and 10/02/2018.
• Packets of 1 pound of seasoned turkey Jennie-O taco with an expiry date of 02/02/2018.
• Packets of 1 pound of Jennie-O chopped turkey at 85% lean / 15% fat with a consumption cut-off date of 02/02/2018.
• Packets of 1 pound of Italian ground turkey brand Jennie-O with the date of consumption 02/02/2018.

The CDC shared ways to protect themselves from Salmonella contamination: tips include washing your hands before and after preparing food, thawing the turkeys in the refrigerator, do not wash the poultry before cooking, put the stuffing right before cooking and cook raw food thoroughly.
