Egg Salad Recalled
First spinach, then green lettuce, now it’s egg salad.
Ballard’s Farm Sausage Inc., a West-Virginia-based company is recalling its egg salad in 17 states because of possible contamination. Tests done over the weekend revealed mixed results for Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterium that can cause serious or fatal infections in young children or elderly people, and miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women.
The President of Ballard, David Ballard, noted that the company has temporarily suspended producing their egg salad while they investigate the contamination.
Customers who purchased a 12-ounce container of egg salad can return it to the store for a refund.
The states involved in the recall are Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, North and South Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.
