On Wednesday, Wright County Eggs voluntarily expanded its original recall to include an additional 150+ million eggs (230 million eggs were included in the original recall). Concern continues to grow as cases from across the country are being traced back to these tainted eggs.
According to the FDA, “the recall affects eggs shipped since May 16, 2010 that were sent to food wholesalers, distribution centers and foodservice companies in California, Illinois, Missouri, Colorado, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Arizona, Texas, Georgia, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Iowa.”
If you haven’t already checked your fridge, please do! Salmonella can pose serious health concerns, especially for young children and those with a weakened immune system. Consumers who think they may have purchased tainted eggs are encouraged to throw them out or return them for a refund.
