Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Sun Foods is alerting consumers to several ready-to-eat snack products containing hard-boiled eggs that were produced by Almark Foods. These eggs have been linked to a multistate outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes, a pathogen that can cause serious illness. While there have been no confirmed reports of illness specifically from these FSIS-regulated meat and poultry products, they are being highlighted out of caution because they contain the affected eggs. Affected brands include Cheesewich, Eggland’s Best, Big Y, and Rachael’s Hand Crafted, sold in various plastic packages.

Risk

The products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause listeriosis, a serious and sometimes fatal infection. This risk is highest for older adults, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems, and can lead to symptoms like fever, muscle aches, and even miscarriage or stillbirth.
