Wright County Egg Expands Nationwide Voluntary Recall of Shell Eggs Because of Possible Health Risk

 

Product: Eggs are packaged under the following brand names: Albertsons, Farm Fresh, James Farms, Glenview, Mountain Dairy, Ralphs, Boomsma, Lund, Kemps and Pacific Coast. Eggs are packed in varying sizes of cartons (6-egg cartons, dozen egg cartons, 18-egg cartons, and loose eggs for institutional use and repackaging) with Julian dates ranging from 136 to 229 and plant numbers 1720 and 1942.

 

Reason: Wright County Egg of Galt, Iowa is expanding its voluntary recall (original recall date: August 13, 2010) of specific Julian dates of shell eggs produced by their farms because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis or arthritis.

 

Customer Action: Consumers who believe they may have purchased these shell eggs should not eat them but should return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund. This recall is of shell eggs only. Other egg products produced by Wright County Eggs are not affected. Consumers with questions should visit www.eggsafety.org or call Wright County’s toll-free information number (866-272-5582), which contains a message outlining recall instructions for consumers.

 

***NONE OF THE EGGS THAT CONAGRA FOODS CARRY ARE EFFECTED BY THE EGG RECALL***

***BORN FREE EGGS ARE NOT IMPACTED BY THE EGG RECALL***

Product: Nature’s Design Whole Peeled Eggs

 

Reason: We have discovered an error in the mixture of sodium benzoate and citric acid solution that is used in a soaking step prior to tray packing for the Nature’s Design Whole Peeled product packed during the week of July 12, 2010. It appears that the ratio of citric acid was less than it should have been which will shorten the shelf life of the product.

 

Customer Actions: Dispose of any product with the Expiration Dates of August 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27.
