EGG RECALL

The eggs infected with salmonella are all produced in Galt, Iowa by Wright County Egg and are sold in retail stores under a number of different brands.

Here's the list of affected brands:

Albertson
Boomsma's
Dutch Farms
Fresh Farms
Hillendale
Kemps
Lucerne
Lund
Mountain Dairy
Ralph's
Shoreland
Sunshine
Trafficanda

Eggs are packed in varying sizes of cartons from 6, 12 to 18 egg cartons with Julian dates
ranging from 136 to 225 and plant numbers 1026, 1413 and 1946.

Dates and codes can be found stamped on the end of the egg carton. The plant number begins with the letter P and then the number. The Julian* date follows the plant number, for example: P-1946 223 The Julian date is the date the eggs were packed.

*Julian date: usually on the short side of the carton, represents the consecutive days of the year with the number 001 as January 1 and December 31 as 365. So if you have P-1946 223
stamped on your egg carton, it means the eggs were packed on August 11th. (223 days from January 1).

Eggs should be stored in their cartons on the middle or lower inside shelf of the refrigerator, not on the door.
