Six egg brands recalled over salmonella contamination

People are encouraged to either throw away affected eggs or return them to the store. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) recalled Golden Valley, Compliments, Foremost, IGA, No Name, and Western Family eggs on Saturday (January 18). The recall applies to different packages and sizes of eggs.
The agency warned that people should not consume, serve, use, sell, or distribute recalled products. Recalled eggs that are part of the lots that are potentially contaminated with salmonella should either be thrown away or returned to the store where they were purchased.
“Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick,” the CFIA website reads. According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms of salmonella include diarrhea, stomach cramps, fever, vomiting, nausea, chills, headache, and bloody stool. Most people recover from the illness on their own within a few days, but they are encouraged to see a doctor if it lasts more than a few days, becomes associated with a high fever, or the person begins to show signs of dehydration.
The cartons included in Handsome Brook Farms’s recall were sold at 25 Costco stores located in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee beginning on November 22, 2024. Units with Julian code 327 and a “use by” date of January 5, 2025, are included under the recall.
