Miami Herald - 12/26/2019

Dec. 26--Egg products sold at Walmart, Publix, Kroger and several other supermarkets were pulled from shelves this week in response to the listeria outbreak connected to hard-boiled egg products.

Behind the pulling of brands you know (Eggland's Best) from stores you know (Costco, 7-Eleven, Fresh Market, Trader Joe's in addition to the three above) is the Gainesville, Georgia, facility of egg supplier Almark Foods. The hard-boiled egg products produced there are the lead suspects in a listeria outbreak that's sickened seven in five states, hospitalized five and killed one person.

Monday, Almark expanded its recall of hard-boiled egg products, regular and organic, down to the retail level with best by dates through March 2, 2020.
