Concerns over salmonella contamination have prompted a significant recall of egg products by Black Sheep Egg Company. This action follows an FDA inspection that revealed serious health risks stemming from their processing facility.
Details of the Egg Recall
The Black Sheep Egg Company recalled their free-range large grade A brown eggs after environmental samples tested positive for salmonella. The FDA announced that out of 40 samples collected, several strains posed a risk of human illness.
Product Information
- The recall affects 12- and 18-count cartons.
- Products have “best by” dates ranging from August 22, 2025, to October 31, 2025.
- The eggs were distributed across Arkansas and Missouri between July 9, 2025, and September 17, 2025.
In addition to local distributions, further investigations revealed that some of the products may have reached other states.
Recommendations for Consumers
The FDA is advising consumers, retailers, and distributors to avoid consuming or distributing the recalled eggs. This precaution is essential as federal health officials work to assess the full scope of the recall.
Additionally, Kenz Henz, a Texas-based company, recalled its 12-count packages of “Grade AA Large Pasture Raised Eggs” linked to Black Sheep Egg Company’s supply. These products were sold in retail locations in Houston, raising further concern among consumers.
Health Risks and Further Actions
The FDA cautioned that while the environmental samples have shown contamination, there is currently no definitive evidence linking Black Sheep Egg Company to an ongoing salmonella outbreak. Nevertheless, the agency continues to monitor the situation closely.
As investigations proceed, any new information regarding additional affected products will be communicated in future advisories. Consumers are encouraged to stay informed and exercise caution regarding these products.
