Wright County Egg has recalled its eggs distributed across the United States due to possible Salmonella contamination.

Authorities have received seven reports of Salmonella cases in Minnesota, and they believe that the eggs are the likely culprits.

Wright County Egg, which is based in Galt, Iowa, delivered eggs to food service companies and food distribution centers in eight states, which included Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota. They advise consumers to return their egg purchases to the store where they bought the product.

“Our primary concern is keeping Salmonella out of the food supply and away from consumers. As a precautionary measure, Wright County Egg also has decided to divert its existing inventory of shell eggs to a breaker, where they will be pasteurized to kill any Salmonella bacteria present.

Consumers who believe that they may have purchased these shell eggs should not eat them but should return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund. This recall is of shell eggs only. Other egg products produced by Wright County Eggs are not affected.”

Hufftington Post reports:

The affected cartons come in varying sizes and carry plant numbers P1026, P1413 and P1946, followed by a date code ranging from 136 to 225. The stamps with the date codes and plant numbers can be found on the end of the egg carton, and the eggs may be sold under any of the following brand names: Lucerne, Albertson, Mountain Dairy, Ralph’s, Boomsma’s, Sunshine, Hillandale, Trafficanda, Farm Fresh, Shoreland, Lund, Dutch Farms and Kemps.

The states of Missouri, Illinois, Nebraska, Colorado and California are also included in the recall.
