Almark Foods issues egg product recall

Almark Foods is issuing a voluntary recall to include all hard-boiled eggs manufactured at the firm’s Gainesville, Georgia facility, including all retail, pillow pack, pouch pack, frozen diced, and protein kit products, due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, an infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
The outbreak has been linked to several reported illnesses, and one reported death.
This recall includes products with “Best If Used By” dates up through March 2, 2020.
Almark has also temporarily suspended all production at its Gainesville plant.
The affected product can be identified by viewing the printed “Best If Used By” date coding on the product package. If the “Best If Used By” code starts with the prefix “G,” the product was manufactured at the company’s Gainesville, Georgia facility, and is subject to this recall.
Products with the prefix “N” or “Y” are not subject to this recall.
