A hard-boiled egg recall has expanded to products sold at Walmart and Trader Joe's following a deadly listeria outbreak.
Almark Foods broadened the recall to include all hard-boiled egg products manufactured at its facility in Gainesville, Georgia, due to potential listeria contamination.
The listeria outbreak has been linked to seven cases, including one death and four hospitalizations, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported. The outbreak is contained to five states, but the recalled products were shipped nationwide.
The expanded recall includes popular brands and organic fare, like Egglands Best, Pete & Gerry's and Vital Farms.
Trader Joe's egg and potato salads were recalled, too, because Almark Foods provided broken egg whites used in their production.

As a shiftless couch potato, I've come to rely on already-hardboiled eggs. This is a blow. :^)
Sounds like a case of mass listeria.
LOL - - Here's an easy way to boil eggs until the crisis is over... Put eggs in cold water, bring to a boil, put lid on pan, turn off heat and come back any time AFTER 18 minutes is up and the eggs will be done.
