FDA raises recall alert to highest level on Costco eggs over risk of severe illness or death due to salmonella

Federal food regulators raised their alarm for recalled eggs sold from Costco stores over possible salmonella exposure, reclassifying the targeted product to their highest risk level.

The FDA had previously announced on Nov. 27 that about 10,800 retail units of organic, pasture-raised, 24-count eggs, sold under Costco’s Kirkland Signature brand, were being recalled by New York-Handsome Brook Farms.

But then in an updated notice issued on Friday, the FDA reclassified to recall to a Class I, which the agency calls a "reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death."

The targeted egg cartons were sold in 25 Costco stores in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee beginning Nov. 22.

The Eggs we Consume are to be Pasteurized. Has the FDA tested the Water? On the Industrial side, who knows if these eggs are Pasteurized? Safe Food Handling Training: Has someone checked the eggplant to see if everyone working there is up to date on yearly Safe Food Handling?

Get the price of eggs down damnit. So MAGA’s can buy more trump Jina shit.
A box of 2 dozen for a dollar.
There may be lots of chicken shit on the shells and no costly refrigeration as they are shipped. And there may be 4-5 Balut’s mixed in there.
Look it up! A Philippine’s delicacy.
A Balut (pronounced balloot)is a fertilized egg, with partially developed chick inside, eaten while still inside the shell.
Lots of Phillippinos in my boot camp in San Diego.
They use to say “that’s what it sounds like when you gulp it down like an oyster from a shell, “baloooot”.

Never tried em. Just had a fear of beaks or feet getting stuck on the way down. They may very well be good.
