Eggs

By Joe Lombardi From Daily Voice

A widely sold line of brown eggs is being pulled from stores and kitchens nationwide after federal testing found multiple Salmonella strains at a processing plant. 

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says the recall could widen as distribution tracking continues.

Black Sheep Egg Company has voluntarily recalled more than six million eggs distributed between Wednesday, July 9 and Wednesday, Sept. 17.

The action covers 12-count and 18-count cartons of Black Sheep Egg Company Free Range Large Grade A Brown Eggs with “Best By” dates from Aug. 22 to Oct. 31, 2025, and UPC codes 860010568507 and 860010568538. 

Some eggs were repackaged by other firms, including Kenz Henz in Texas, under different branding.

During an FDA inspection at the company’s Walnut Ridge, Arkansas facility, 40 environmental samples tested positive for Salmonella across seven strains. No illnesses have been confirmed. 

Regulators warn the eggs may have reached additional states through repackagers or distributors. The agency notes the recall’s geographic scope could expand as new information emerges.

The FDA advises consumers, retailers, and restaurants not to eat, sell, or serve the recalled eggs and to clean and sanitize any surfaces the product touched.
