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.

Same here-I don’t eat processed or precooked food-only fresh and organic meat, veggies, etc-eggs bartered from neighbor who has free range chickens-I had no idea that anyone would buy an egg already boiled-it doesn’t even sound sanitary...
“Egglands Best...”
I thought one paid a hefty premium to avoid this crap. Apparently for naught.
listeria on a boiled egg, I was trying to figure out how this happens especially in a factory operation and I just can’t without suspecting that somehow the packaging was contaminated with it.
It's the peeling that sucks. Two dozen deviled eggs for Christmas took me forever!
I used to buy those to eat instead of fast food on the way to work.
They’re sold peeled.
boiled chicken fetuses from planned poultryhood, what could possibly go wrong???
yuk...
Survives boiling?
I suspect it has to do with the peeling and packing. And why would you buy hard boiled eggs? How hard is it to make them at home?
I’ve been craving deviled eggs. Add a bit of onion, fresh garlic, mustard and Miracle Whip. Yum! (But I have 2 freezers full of the last 2 holiday’s food!)
*Kit holds hand up*
I've never figured out how to easily peel boiled eggs. No problem making my own, but when I'm making egg salad or deviled eggs, its just so easy to buy a pack of 32 or so peeled and boiled eggs from Costco.
If I'm just doing a small batch of something, I'll go ahead and boil my own...;)
[can anyone share the secret of easy peeling? I've tried about everything from cold-shocking to air-cooling to hydraulic with water in a Mason jar...]
Buy them a week or 2 before.
Older eggs are much easier to peel.

I love Howard McGee.
I can, but I don’t. I’m lazy.
Don’t boil them...
Steam them for 15 minutes, the plunge them into ice water for 15 minutes. The shells slip right off.
Like put some eggs in my bamboo steamer over a pot of boiling water for 15 minutes?
Do they cook solid? Elevation in the kitchen is over 6,000 feet. I wonder if this will work at altitude?
You may have just changed my world!
It's easy. I buy the boiling water at Cosco and boil my own eggs at home.
Have to hurry home, though.
Is that you they’re talking about when they say “he/she doesn’t know how to boil water?”
Well, that’s one way to get it, I guess. What’s your excuse going to be to the cop who stops you for speeding?
I’d like to hear that one!!
Indeed, its very likely somewhere else in the process. Or someone handling incoming eggs is transferring to other parts of the plant, post boiling. Even the air-flow and venting could be pushing bacteria in the wrong direction.
Older eggs.
Problem solved.
Fresh eggs are a peeling nightmare.
