The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says the eggs, which have reached consumers in nine states, have the potential to be contaminated with salmonella.
The recall was issued after 22 cases of salmonella illnesses were reported last month. In each case, the patient had eaten eggs or egg dishes and FDA officials were able to trace the source of some of the eggs to Rose Acre Farms’ property in Hyde County, North Carolina.
The eggs are being sold under brand names such as Coburn Farms, Country Daybreak, Food Lion, Glenview, Great Value, Nelms, and Sunshine Farms. The affected eggs came from plant number P-1065 with the Julian date range of 011 through date of 102 printed on the package.
The FDA says the eggs reached consumers in Colorado, Florida, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. You can view the full list of affected products by clicking here.
