Due to the potential for Salmonella contamination, a massive multistate recall involving over 6 million eggs has been issued.
The Arkansas based Black Sheep Egg Company issued a recall of their 12 and 18 count cartons of company branded Free Range Large Grade A Brown Eggs, with best by dates of 8/22/2025 through 10/31/2025. The FDA said it initiated an inspection of the company's processing facility and collected samples, 40 of which were positive for salmonella.
A second brand has been added to the recall. Kenz Henz of Texas issued a similar recall of its 12 count packages of Grade AA Large Pasture Raised eggs because they have the potential to be contaminated with salmonella as well.
Consumers, retailers and distributors are warned by the FDA to not eat, sell or serve the eggs. Those who purchcased suspected products are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. The eggs were distributed to companies that may have repackaged them, the FDA warns. Additional products may be added to the recall advisory as more information becomes available.
Salmonella symptoms usually start within six hours after eating contaminated food. Most people recover in four to seven days. The CDC warns that children under 5, adults 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems may have more severe illnesses that require treatment.
According to officials, no illnesses have been reported to date in connection with the recall.
