Restaurant Salmonella Egg Recall Lawsuit
A Salmonella Enteritidis outbreak has sickened hundreds of people and has been linked to eggs from Wright County Egg in Galt, Iowa, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Illnesses have been reported in California, Minnesota and Colorado. The company has since recalled 228 million eggs.
The potentially contaminated eggs were distributed to food wholesalers and food service companies, and may have been served and consumed in restaurants. One salmonella egg lawsuit that was initially filed against a Wisconsin restaurant has now been changed to include Wright County Egg. The eggs were distributed to the following states:
- California
- Illinois
- Missouri
- Colorado
- Nebraska
- Minnesota
- Wisconsin
- Iowa
The recalled eggs were packaged and distributed under these brand names: Lucerne, Albertson, Mountain Dairy, Ralph’s, Boomsma’s, Sunshine, Hillandale, Trafficanda, Farm Fresh, Shoreland, Lund, Dutch Farms and Kemps. They were packaged in 6, 12, and 18-egg cartons. According to the recall the eggs have:
Julian dates ranging from 136 to 225 and plant numbers 1026, 1413 and 1946. Dates and codes can be found stamped on the end of the egg carton. The plant number begins with the letter P and then the number. The Julian date follows the plant number, for example: P-1946 223.
Salmonella Enteritidis “can be on both the outside and inside of eggs that appear to be normal, and if the eggs are eaten raw or undercooked, the bacterium can cause illness,” according to the CDC.
