What’s the Problem?
Jan. 6, 2020 – The listeria outbreak linked to Gainesville, Georgia-based Almark Foods, Inc. has sickened at least 7 people, including 1 person in Texas who died from complications of a listeria infection, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) [1]. The illnesses also included a newborn baby, who has since recovered, that was infected with listeria from the mother during pregnancy.
Almark distributed the bulk, fresh peeled hard-boiled eggs in plastic pails to dozens of companies across the U.S., including 7-Eleven for use as its signature 7-Select brand hard-boiled eggs. Other brands affected include:
Best Choice, CMI, Dairy Fresh, Deb-El, Egglands Best, Everyday Essentials, Farmers Hen House, Food Club, Giant Eagle, Great Day, Great Value, Inspired Organics, Kroger, LIDL, Lucerne, Members Mark, Naturally Better, Nellie’s, O Organics, Peckish, Pete & Gerry’s Rainbow Farms, Rembrandt Foods, ShopRite, Simple Truth Organics, Sunshine, Trader Joe’s, Vital Farms, and Wild Harvest brands.
The recalled eggs can be identified by a “Best If Used By” Date on the product packaging that starts with the letter “G”, signifying it was produced at the Almark plant in Gainesville. Click on the link to view a complete list of recalled egg products [2].
