Food Recalls
 

This is new information for me so I hesitated posting. I try to avoid anything that is not uplifting.

I had the local tv news on in the back round and I thought I heard them say yesterday that Romain Lettuce was recalled and today eggs were recalled.

200 million eggs recalled over salmonella fears

A few days ago I bought eggs in Walmart and the only brand name I can see is Great Value. So I guess my eggs are fine.

I am asking you to check my USA Today source and see if it's a real concern.

And find your own source that you can share about the lettuce. I haven't been to the stores lately so my hunch is that if there was a problem, the grocery stores would be the first to know and pull the product.

Is my hunch true?

Your eggs could be at risk.. per the article look for this plant number..

They were sold under the brand names Country Daybreak; Crystal Farms; Coburn Farms; Sunshine Farms; Glenview; Great Value; as well as at Walmart and Food Lion stores

The recall involves eggs with the plant number P-105, with the Julian date range of 011 through 012 printed on either side of the carton or package.

Oh No Walmart Eggs!!! That explains a lot. Thanks.

Remember Archie Bunker with the Pocono Mushrooms?

The side of my box reads
9P1410075
Best BYO 42918

What does that mean?

I would say you're probably fine. It looks like your eggs came from plant #141..

I don't remember it but here it is.

maybe later i'll watch it

thanks

Like I said I usually don't pay attention to food recalls and hope the store does or one of my kids or friends give me a heads up. The Catholic guilt in me said that if I know something, I should say something.

This forum is used, in part, to share information useful to others. A food recall is certainly important and I feel sure that not everyone has seen info about both recalls.

Thanks for sharing!

I bought eggs about a half and hour ago at Publix and asked the man restocking if he had personally seen the hens who laid them.

He said yes.

That's all I need.:wave:

I'm surprised no one answered my question. I write too much so maybe no one saw it. I'm guessing someone has expertise in grocery stores.

I get my news online. Does the daily newspaper print daily recalls?

Is it safe [not foolproof] to think that when a food recall occurs the first to hear about it is the grocery store's headquarters who immediately contacts the appropriate store/stores to pull the product.

I am not an expert but my understanding is that they notify all of the stores that purchased the product and that it would in fact be pulled from the shelves. The recall issued to the general public is for those who have already purchased the product.

That makes sense. thank-you

The FDA maintains a site with current recalls and you can sign up for email updates

The article doesn't agree with the video about the plant number and the date range.

Per the video... The recall involves eggs with the plant number P-1065, with the Julian date range of 011 through 0102 printed on either side of the carton or package.

The date range is from January 11 to April 12.

Because i have a grocery pickup account with them, I got an email from Walmart:

Great Value 12 CT Large Grade A Egg | 7874212707
Great Value 12 CT X-Large Grade A Egg | 7874212712
Great Value 18 CT X-Large Grade A Egg | 7874212713
Great Value 36 CT Large Grade A Egg | 7874212710
Great Value 12 CT Jumbo Grade A Egg | 7874212714
Great Value 18 CT Large Grade A Egg | 7874212708
Great Value 60 CT Large Grade A Egg | 7874212711

Info about other brands is available at: Rose Acre Farms Recalls Shell Eggs Due to Possible Health Risk

Then I had to decide: play the odds and eat them, throw them out, or go stand in line and get my $1.17 back. ;-)

thank-you

That's somewhat useful unless I'm using it incorrectly. For example I sorted for food.
The newest post is 2 weeks ago 3/30.
There is no mention of eggs or lettuce.

So much for accuracy in reporting..

Bottom line: If you're concerned about your eggs being contaminated just throw them out.. What's a $3.00 carton of eggs when it comes to your health or peace of mind?

I think you’re okay. Best by means your eggs are good through December 31, 42918.

I don't understand. The first item listed on the page I sent was eggs.

I'm throwing mine out even though I think they are safe.
I'm joining Walmart too just for the emails. I like to shop. They are recalling 200 million eggs, yikes.

I googled florida food recall [last 24 hours]

I can't remember if you can make a google alert that specific---it would be handy.

I couldn't find the lettuce or eggs. Maybe they are understaffed.

I missed it, sorry.

"Through an abundance of caution Rose Acre Farms of Seymour, Indiana is voluntarily recalling 206,749,248 eggs because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella Braenderup, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems."

Do you believe how specific that number is? Two dozen people got sick. 24/206749248=?% Why worry?

I couldn't find the lettuce on the linked recall site. And it doesn't look like florida is on the list but that's huge too.

lettuce recall - Google Search

Oh, balls. I just bought two bags of Caesar salad kits with chopped romaine. Florida isn't one of the affected states so far, but the details are still pretty vague.

I do not want to take a chance with E. coli even more than I don't want to mess with salmonella!

I didn't see lettuce either. Try this site it seems more up to date.

Look again, Great Value is on the list.

ME TOO. I bought three salad kits because our daughter had served them to us when we were North and they were yummy. I didn't know we had another romaine alert. The last one was in January. I thought that had passed.

Salad is always a crap shoot when it comes to microorganisms. I don't worry about it, but when they warn you....well..

Freedom, PA-based Fresh Foods Manufacturing Co. Saturday recalled approximately 8,757 pounds of ready-to-eat salad products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157: H7 from romaine lettuce, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The ready-to-eat salad products were "produced" from April 9, 2018, to April 12, 2018, and…

Do they put a "production" date on salad bags?

Do your own research. I don't want to make a mistake.

Tomwed, glad you posted here. I just came from the grocery store here in PA and not only was the packaged lettuce pulled but there were signs all over the area - couldn't miss them. As people were acting surprised to see this, I was thinking how I heard it first on TOTV.

Good call to post - thanks!

I bought a dozen Sunny Meadows eggs, I think from Winn Dixie. We've eaten half of them, and the carton has Rose Acre Farms on it. So out they go,not raking a chance.
