Recall: Consumers should discard or return affected eggs

Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the recalled eggs and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. 

The recall notice emphasizes the importance of cleaning and sanitizing any surfaces or containers that may have come into contact with the eggs to prevent cross-contamination. 

“Consumers who have this product should discontinue use immediately and return it to the place of purchase or discard it,” the recall notice says.

The CDC also advises washing hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot, soapy water after handling the eggs.

August Egg Company has taken steps to address the issue by diverting eggs to an egg-breaking plant for pasteurization to eliminate any potential pathogens. The company is also conducting an internal review to prevent future occurrences.
