A total of 206,749,248 chicken eggs that were distributed from North Carolina have just been recalled from Walmart, Food Lion, and other grocery stores due to a possible salmonella contamination.
Infected eggs can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Symptoms of salmonella infection in healthy adults can include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In some circumstances, it can lead to arterial infections, endocarditis and arthritis if the organism enters the blood stream.
According to the FDA, “The eggs were distributed from the farm in Hyde County, North Carolina and reached consumers in the following states: Colorado, Florida, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia through retail stores and restaurants via direct delivery.”
The affected eggs come from plant number P-1065 with the Julian date range of 011 through date of 102 and include the following brands;
