Walmart has recalled over 6,400 lbs. of their popular 'Great Value' frozen meat products for possible salmonella contamination.
George's Prepared Foods, the company that produces Walmart's Great Value frozen, fully cooked meat, said the food was meant to be disposed of after some tested positive for salmonella.
However, they were accidentally shipped nationwide.
According to the US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service, the following products are subject to recall:

Salmonella symptoms typically appear anywhere from 12 to 72 hours after eating a contaminated product.
The USDA says the most common symptoms include diarrhea, fever and cramps, which typically last up to a week.
