NEW JERSEY – Products that contain hard-boiled eggs from a Georgia company that ended up on store shelves nationwide, including in New Jersey, have been recalled because of a deadly outbreak of listeria. And Almark Foods of Gainesville now has expanded the recall to include egg products sold at Walmart as well as Trader Joe's.

If you're at a high risk for listeria infection, don't eat store-bought egg salad or anything else with egg in it. The recall does not affect eggs you bought at the store and then hard-boiled at home on your own but rather store-bought hard-boiled eggs and products that contain them. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that at least seven people in five states have gotten sick, including one in Texas who died. No one in New Jersey was reported to be sick.

The eggs from Almark Foods of Gainesville, Ga. were sent to food service operators nationwide. The company has temporarily suspended all production at its Gainesville plant. One of the difficulties in identifying the bad product is that large retailers around the country have used the eggs in their own products, so identifying what to throw away or return is more difficult.

Trader Joe's used some of the recalled product in its own production of egg salad, which has also been recalled. Trader Joe's has recalled its brand name Egg Salad in 6-ounce cups and its brand name Old Fashioned Potato Salad in 20-ounce trays.

The egg products being recalled were sold under multiple brand names including 7 Select, Almark Foods, Best Choice, CMI, Dairy Fresh, Deb-El, Egglands Best, Everyday Essentials, Farmers Hen House, Food Club, Fresh Thyme, Giant Eagle, Great Day, Great Value, Inspired Organics, Kirkland Signature, Kroger, LIDL, Lucerne, Members Mark, Naturally Better, Nellie's, O Organics, Peckish, Pete & Gerry's, Rainbow Farms, Rembrandt Foods, ShopRite, Simple Truth Organics, Sunshine, Vital Farms, and Wild Harvest.
