Announcement

Through an abundance of caution Rose Acre Farms of Seymour, Indiana is voluntarily recalling 206,749,248 eggs because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella Braenderup, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals infected with Salmonella Braenderup can experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella Braenderup can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

The eggs were distributed from the farm in Hyde County, North Carolina and reached consumers in the following states: Colorado, Florida, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia through retail stores and restaurants via direct delivery.

22 illnesses have been reported to date.

The affected eggs, from plant number P-1065 with the Julian date range of 011 through date of 102 printed on either the side portion or the principal side of the carton or package, as follows:

The voluntary recall was a result of some illnesses reported on the U.S. East Coast, which led to extensive interviews and eventually a thorough FDA inspection of the Hyde County farm, which produces 2.3 million eggs a day. The facility includes 3 million laying hens with a USDA inspector on-site daily.

Consumers who have purchased shells eggs are urged to immediately discontinue use of the recalled eggs and to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at (855) 215-5730 between the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Standard time."

In the following weeks, the FDA, CDC, and state partners worked together to collect additional information and conduct traceback activities to identify a food item of interest. Interviews with ill people allowed health partners to identify eggs as a possible source of these cases. The FDA collected and reviewed extensive records to identify the source of the eggs that people ate.

From March 26 – April 11, 2018, the FDA conducted a thorough inspection of the Rose Acre Farms’ Hyde County farm and collected samples for testing.

"Eggs are one of the more common carriers of salmonella. The FDA advises people to buy pasteurized eggs, refrigerate the eggs after purchase, and discard cracked or dirty eggs. Eating raw or undercooked eggs is more likely to cause illnesses than eggs that have been thoroughly cooked.

Salmonella is responsible for some of the most widespread food-poisoning outbreaks in US history. In 1985, more than 6,000 people were sickened and nine people died in a salmonella outbreak tied to tainted milk. In 2009, more than 500 people were sickened and eight died in a salmonella outbreak linked to a peanut factory."

Walmart, Food Lion, and other grocery chains are recalling more than 206 million eggs after salmonella outbreak

Food Lion had a HUGE PROBLEM way back, remember that anyone??

We've now been told in the UK that undercooked or even raw eggs are safe, but our chickens are vaccinated against salmonella. I wonder why that isn't the case in the US? I understand that it is probably a much larger scale there but with so many people getting ill from eggs....
