Gravel Ridge Farms is recalling Cage Free Large Eggs due to a potential contamination of salmonella, according to the FDA.
The recall was initiated because reported illnesses were confirmed at locations using Gravel Ridge Farm Eggs.
The products were distributed between 6/25/2018 and 9/6/2018. These products were packaged in a cardboard container and sold primarily in restaurants and retail stores in AL, GA, and TN.
On 9/6/2018 the firm was notified by FDA that the product they supplied may be contaminated with salmonella:
Gravel Ridge Farms – Large Cage Free Eggs – Single Dozen and 2.5 Dozen Flats – 7-06970-38444-6 – 7/25/18 through 10/3/18
Consumers who have purchased these products can return to store for refund or discard the product immediately. If any consumers have Gravel Ridge Farms eggs in their refrigerator, they should be discarded, regardless of the date stamped on the package.
Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
