Meijer recalls diced hard boiled eggs due to potential health risks
Product bought at two stores in Grand Rapids, MI affected
As part of a multi-state recall due to the potential risk of Listeria monocytogenes, Meijer—in conjunction with Almark Foods—is announcing a voluntary recall of frozen hard-boiled egg products used on two salad bars at two stores in Grand Rapids, Mich.
Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
