FDA: Recall on More Than 6 Million Eggs
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducted an inspection at the egg processing facility operated by Black Sheep Egg Company and collected environmental samples for analysis. Testing identified 40 samples positive for Salmonella, representing seven distinct strains, several of which are associated with human illness. At present, the FDA has no evidence indicating that this facility is linked to any ongoing outbreak.
Following these findings, Black Sheep Egg Company initiated a voluntary recall and notified its direct customers to remove potentially contaminated products from distribution. To further protect public health, the FDA has issued a consumer alert advising consumers, retailers, and distributors not to eat, sell, or serve the recalled Black Sheep Egg Company products.
The affected products include 12-count and 18-count cartons of Black Sheep Egg Company Free Range Large Grade A Brown Eggs bearing “Best By” dates from August 22, 2025, through October 31, 2025, printed on the side of the carton. The company also supplied eggs to other firms in Arkansas and Missouri, which may have repackaged them under different labels. Additional products may be added to this advisory as new information emerges.
