More than 6,000 pounds of ready-to-eat pork sausage patty and turkey sausage patty products sold at Walmart have been recalled because they may be contaminated with salmonella, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Friday.
The producer, George's Prepared Foods of Tennessee, is recalling approximately 6,444 that were produced on April 19, April 27, May 7 and May 9.

There have been no confirmed illnesses linked to the recall, according to the USDA.
