Food Recall expiration date
How long does a no-fatality food recall remain relevant to encyclopediac content? I suggest 3 years with 5 years or more if major lawsuits are involved. After all, automobile manufacturers don't have every recall listed... just major recent and culturally relevant historical recalls. 108.43.142.19 (talk) 17:02, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello, can we please include this updated info in the article?

The company was founded by Earl B. Olson in 1940, when he began raising turkeys. In 1949, he bought the former Farmers Produce Company of Willmar and its turkey processing plant.[2] In 1953, it was renamed to Jennie-O after his daughter, Jennifer Olson.

The company continued to expand over the years, both by internal growth and through buying similar processing companies. It was widely known for producing turkey products that simulated other meats, such as turkey hot dogs, turkey ham, turkey pastrami, etc. It is now one of the two largest turkey processing companies in the US. (The other is Cargill, also from Minnesota.)

The company was privately owned by the Olson family until 1986, when it was sold to Hormel Foods, of Austin, Minnesota.

 * Thank you. This is with a new source, so that the article is not based as much on materials from the company. Apologies for not being clear in the request on that part. Will that fix work? Thank you. Hello-Mary-H (talk) 22:08, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Title
Change short title from "Jennie-O" to "Jennie-O Turkey Store". This seems to be an appropriate change that needs to be done. Brdyfrnds (talk) 18:53, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
