Egg Recall is Expanded
Egg Recall is Expanded
According to the US Food and Drug Administration, Sparboe Farms has voluntarily expanded their egg recall. This expansion was released September 3, 2010.
What is being recalled?
This recall pertains to extra large white shell eggs.
What's the problem?
The eggs may be contaminated with Salmonella. Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and/or deadly infections in people, especially those with compromised, weakened, or underdeveloped immune systems. Symptoms of being infected with Salmonella include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. If Salmonella gets into the bloodstream, it can cause more serious illnesses.
Which specific eggs are involved in this recall?
The eggs were supplied by Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms, then repackaged by Sparboe Farms. The eggs were packaged and sold under the brand names "Sparboe Farms" and "Market Pantry." No illnesses have been reported at the time of the recall expansion.
Eggs packaged under the "Market Pantry" name were distributed to some but not all Target stores. The exact product name is "Market Pantry XL 1 dozen." They have a plant number of 1906 and Julian dates of 211, 218, and 219. The UPC number is 8523903159. The states that may have been affected by these eggs include AR, IA, IL, KS, LA, MN, MO, ND, NE, OK, SD, TX, and WI.
The eggs packaged under the "Sparboe Farms" name include "Sparboe Farms XL18 count" and "XL Loose 15 dozen." The XL 18 eggs have a plant number of 1906 and a Julian date of 219. The UPC number is 4461907033. The states that may have been affected by these eggs include NE, IA, and SD. The Loose 15 dozen eggs have a plant number of 1906 and a Julian date of 219. The UPC number is not available. The states that may have been affected by these eggs include IL and IA.
On the end of the carton, or the side of the case, you will find the dates and codes. The plant number starts with the letter P and then has the number. The Julian date is printed right after the plant number. For example: P-1906-219.
What do I do now?
If you have these eggs, do not eat them! Take them back to the store where you bought them to get your refund. If you feel you have become ill due to consumption of these eggs, see a doctor right away. If you have any questions or concerns, call the Egg Safety Media Hotline at (404) 367-2761 or visit eggsafety.org.
