More than 1.5 million dozen eggs recalled in six U.S. states due to salmonella contamination risk
Due to the potential risk of salmonella contamination, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) informed that Midwest Poultry Services has implemented a voluntary recall of more than 1.589 million dozen eggs from the batch involved. This recall covers six states in the United States, and there are currently no reports of related illness cases. It is reported that this recall involves a variety of brands and cage-free eggs sold in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Mississippi. The brands include Kroger, Brookshire's, Country Morning, Simple Truth and Sunups, etc. The packaging covers white-shell eggs and cage-free brown-shell eggs. The product in question was produced by two farms in Texas. The production and distribution period was from June 6 to July 3. The shelf life was between July 20 and August 17. The factory code "P-1950" or "840962" and a date code between 157 and 184 were printed on the side of the box. Regulatory authorities stated that the hidden danger was discovered during routine environmental testing. A statement from China West Poultry Company stated that after learning of the potential safety hazard, it immediately transferred the relevant eggs to the processing plant for pasteurization to eliminate possible pathogenic bacteria, and simultaneously initiated internal investigation and testing procedures. The regulatory agency reminded that consumers who have purchased the affected products should stop eating them immediately and can apply for a full refund with their purchase voucher. Salmonella infection can cause symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. For infants, young children, the elderly and people with low immunity, severe complications may lead to fatal complications.
