More than 200 million eggs distributed to restaurants and grocery stores in nine states have been recalled because of they may contain salmonella.
A notice posted on the Food & Drug Administration website Friday said the eggs shipped from a North Carolina farm may be tainted with salmonella. The bacteria can cause nausea, diarrhea and, in rare cases , death. Twenty-two illnesses have been reported.
“Consumers with these eggs shouldn’t eat them,” FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said on Twitter. “Throw them away or return them to place of purchase for credit or refund.”
The notice said Indiana-based Rose Acre Farms was voluntarily recalling the eggs “through an abundance of caution.”
