Michael Foods recalls hard-cooked eggs over Listeria contamination fears
Michael Foods is recalling specific lot dates of hard-cooked eggs in brine, which were sold for institutional use in the US, as the product has potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
The recalled eggs were purchased by food distributors and manufacturers located in 34 states in the US. The products affected by the recall are 10- and 25-pound pails which are labeled under six brand names Columbia Valley Farms, GFS, Glenview Farms, Papetti's, Silverbrook, and Wholesome Farms.
The affected products, which were produced at the company's facility in Wakefield, Nebraska, have expiration dates ranging from 1/30/2012 to 3/10/2012.
According to the company, none of the eggs were sold directly by Michael Foods to retailers or consumers. However, food distributors and manufacturers who purchased the eggs could have used them in products that were sold to retail outlets or used in foodservice settings.
There have been no confirmed reports of illness in connection with this product.
The recall was initiated after lab testing showed that some of the eggs within the recalled lot dates may have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
