Salmonella Enteritidis is a bacterium that can contaminate eggs both inside the shell and on the shell’s exterior. Infection typically develops between 12 and 72 hours after consuming contaminated food.

Common symptoms include diarrhea, fever, stomach cramps, nausea and vomiting. Most healthy people recover within several days. Young children, older adults and individuals with weakened immune systems face a greater risk of severe illness.

Consumers can determine whether their eggs are included in the recall by checking the printed plant codes. The affected cartons display either “P-1950” or “0840962” alongside Julian dates between 157 and 184. The eggs were packaged in a variety of carton sizes, ranging from six-count containers to 60-count packages.

For now, health authorities say consumers should carefully inspect egg cartons before preparing meals and avoid consuming any products included in the recall.
