September 12, once again, Cargill Incorporated issued a recall of ground turkey, from its Arkansas plant.  It’s the same plant that saw one of the largest meat recalls in U.S. history, just last month.

Something that most people in the United States don’t know, is that Cargill has been identified as one of the many U.S. corporations that uses prison labor. Cargill has also been identified as using child labor in its operations outside the United States.  Could prison labor have something to do with the many recent meat recalls?

There are dozens of lessor known meat plants all across the United States that use prison labor, some use prison labor exclusively.  Part of the unemployment problem in U.S. is due to the use of prison labor.  Many regular meat plant employees have been laid off and replaced with cheaper prison labor.

This latest recall covers about 185,000 pounds of ground turkey products. They were distributed nationwide under the Kroger, Fresh HEB and Cargill’s Honeysuckle White brands.  All ground turkey made at the Springdale, Arkansas, plant has “P-963” or “963” on the package.  People who bought products bearing that identification number can call 1-888-812-1646 for instructions.
