If you think you have already checked those Coles or Woolworths eggs – think again.
Shoppers warned to check their eggs after an urgent recall of high-end free range varieties over fears they’ve been contaminated with salmonella.
Eggs sold at IGA and bakeries across Australia have been urgently recalled over fears they could be contaminated with salmonella.
The latest recall is in addition to warnings issued over eggs that were sold at Woolworths and Coles only days ago.
The products have been available for sale at IGA’s, independent stores, bakeries and butchers in NSW.
The NSW Food Authority issued the urgent recall and advised that CR and M Ash and Sons were, ‘conducting a recall of various cartons of 12 eggs’.
Impacted eggs include Blue Mountains Free Range Eggs 700g, Blue Mountains Cage Free Eggs 700g, Fresh Eggs From My Farm 800g, Farm Fresh Eggs 600g, 700g, 800g and single sticker eggs with a best before date 26/April/19 and 3/May/19.
A statement by the food standards agency reads: ‘Any consumers concerned about their health should seek medical advice and should return the products to the place of purchase for a full refund.’
Salmonellosis symptoms include fever, headache, severe diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting.
Symptoms usually start around six to 72 hours after the contaminated food is eaten and usually last for four to seven days but can continue for much longer.
NSW Health data indicates that during January 2019, there were 412 cases of Salmonella infection.
Keep an eye out for those eggs!
