Hard Boiled Egg Recall Expands to Kroger Eggs
Dec. 31, 2019 - The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Food & Drug Administration (FDA), and various other state and local health authorities are investigating an outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes linked to packaged hard-boiled egg products used by national foodservice operators.
On Dec. 20, 2019, Almark Foods [1] issued a recall for “Hard-Boiled and Peeled Eggs in white plastic pails with white plastic lids” due to potential listeria contamination. Three days later, Almark expanded the recall [2] to include many popular brands, including Kroger eggs.
Affected products have a "Best If Used By" date that starts with a G, FDA said. Any hard-boiled eggs matching this description should not be eaten and thrown away immediately. Kroger eggs are sold at grocery stores nationwide and online.

Listeria Symptoms
For most healthy people, a listeria infection (listeriosis) doesn't pose much of a threat, although it may make you sick for a day or 2. But for some people -- pregnant women and their babies, children, and individuals with diseases that have reduced their immune systems -- the illness can be severe and even life-threatening.
Signs and symptoms of listeriosis may include:
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Achy muscles
- Fever
If the infection spreads to your nervous system, symptoms may include:
- Headache
- Stiff neck
- Confusion
- Loss of balance
- Convulsions
