Shell Eggs packaged in quantities and styles of pack (plastic and pulp cartons, flats, and boxes)

Rose Acre Farm recalled Shell Eggs packaged in quantities and styles of pack (plastic and pulp cartons, flats, and boxes) in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Apr 13, 2018.

The recall was triggered by possible Salmonella contamination: "Shell eggs have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella Braenderup." Salmonella is one of the most common causes of U.S. foodborne illness, with symptoms that typically appear within six hours to six days of exposure.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "Direct consignees located in MS, NJ, GA, VA, FL, NH, NY, AL, NC, CT, MD, UT, & SC retail stores and restaurants via direct delivery." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Seymour, IN. The recall covers 206,749,248 of product. As of the latest FDA data pull this recall is still Ongoing, meaning the agency has not yet recorded its completion. The product may remain in circulation, so the kitchen check below is current advice.
