What’s the Problem?
Jan. 2, 2020 – The recall affects 5 lb. packages of Meijer frozen diced eggs (UPC 79379900993), which were sold between Oct. 25, 2019, and Dec. 23, 2019, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). Meijer used the hard-boiled egg ingredients in its supermarket salad bars, FDA said.
Almark Foods, Inc., a Gainesville, Georgia, firm, issued the original recall [2] associated with a listeria outbreak that has sickened at least 7 people in 5 states, including 1 person in Texas who died, on Dec. 20. The company has since expanded the recall twice to include dozens of other companies and products, including Meijer hard-boiled eggs.

Consumers who purchased any hard-boiled eggs or egg products affected by the recall should throw them away or return them to the point of purchase for a refund. If you or a loved one are experiencing any symptoms of listeria — fever, muscle aches, nausea, or diarrhea — you should contact a doctor immediately.
