Why Eggs Are Recalled for Salmonella
Eggs can be contaminated with salmonella bacteria inside the hen before the shell forms. Warm storage, cracked shells, or unsanitary processing increase risk. When tests find the bacteria, regulators may order a recall to prevent foodborne illness.
Recent Egg Recall Details
In recent recalls, companies removed specific egg cartons sold under certain brands and package codes. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration lists affected dates, facilities, and distribution states. Consumers should check cartons for lot numbers and avoid using recalled products.
How to Check and Stay Safe
Visit the FDA's recall database or the company's website to verify if your eggs are included. Discard recalled eggs or return them for a refund. Cook eggs to 160°F, refrigerate promptly, and wash hands and surfaces after handling raw eggs.
