On December 18th, the FDA notified Almark Foods that Hard-Boiled and Peeled eggs manufactured at the Gainesville, GA facility may be associated with a Listeria monocytogenes outbreak that has been linked to several reported illnesses and one reported death. A more recent FDA sample from the facility also matched the outbreak strain, indicating the possibility that the contamination may still be present.
The hard-boiled eggs were sold nationwide at Wal-Mart, Costco, Kroger, ShopRite, Giant Eagle, LIDL, Fresh Thyme, and more. They could be sold as but not limited to the following brands: 7 Select, Best Choice, Egglands Best, Everyday Essentials, Fresh Thyme, Giant Eagle, Great Day, Great Value, Inspired Organics, Kirkland Signature, Kroger, LIDL, Lucerne, and Members Mark.
Customers who have purchased these products are urged to immediately discard and not consume the products. The affected product can be identified by viewing the printed “Best If Used By” date coding on the product package. If the “Best If Used By” code starts with the prefix “G”, the product was manufactured at the company’s Gainesville, Georgia facility and is subject to this recall.
