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 Costcos 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.

(107 posts)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?

(10,200 posts)Get the price of eggs down damnit. So MAGAs 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 Baluts mixed in there.
Look it up! A Philippines 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 thats what it sounds like when you gulp it down like an oyster from a shell, baloooot.
