Eggs and salmonella in the US: how to check a recall

Searches linked to an eggs and salmonella investigation have risen in the United States.

The FDA publishes outbreak investigations and updates. A package photo or viral post is not enough to tell whether your product is affected.

Start with the official source

Check the product name, brand, lot code, date and distribution area in the official notice. Do not discard a product based only on a headline: recalls often cover precise lots, sizes or dates. Equally, do not eat a product identified in an active notice.

What to do when a product matches

Follow the recall instructions exactly: do not consume it, dispose of it or return it as instructed, then clean surfaces that may have been in contact. Seek medical advice for concerning symptoms.

Food-safety basics

  • Use the FDA page rather than a screenshot.
  • Keep packaging until you have checked it.
  • Wash hands and clean affected surfaces.
  • Follow the specific instructions for that recall.

Information can change, so check the official page on the day.
