What's the Problem?
Jan. 2, 2019 - The Trader Joe's recall [1] was initiated after Bakkavor received notification from Almark Foods Inc., of Gainesville, Georgia, that it supplied certain lots of Broken Egg White products in 20 lb pails that may be contaminated with listeria, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
This recall affects:
- Trader Joe's Egg Salad 6 Oz. Cups, UPC 0066 6695
