MINNETONKA, Minn. (February 3, 2012)--Michael Foods, of Minnetonka, Minn., is widening its recall of hard-cooked eggs sold in Texas and 33 other states because of a potential for listeria contamination.
Michael Foods is recalling eggs in brine sold in 10- and 25-pound pails for institutional use under six brand names including Columbia Valley Farms, GFS, Glenview Farms, Papetti's, Silverbrook and Wholesome Farms.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says the eggs were produced at Michael Foods' plant in Wakefield, Neb., and were bought by food distributors and manufacturers.
There have been no reports of illness connected to the eggs, but, the company says the eggs have the potential to be contaminated with a strain of listeria that can cause serious infections in those with weaker immune systems.
The eggs were also sold in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Jersey, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and West Virginia.
