Almark Foods is recalling over 16.3 million units of hard-boiled egg products after the FDA and CDC identified a potential genetic match between Listeria monocytogenes found in the manufacturing facility and an illness outbreak. The recall affects a massive range of brands including Almark, Eggland's Best, Vital Farms, Nellie's, and several store brands like Kroger, Giant Eagle, and Great Value. These products were sold in various forms including bulk pails, retail snack packs, and diced egg packages.
The products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Listeria infection can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
