There’s been another egg recall, the fifth since March, again warning of the potential presence of salmonella in the eggs.



A new egg recall

If you’re not quite up to speed with the egg recalls thus far, here’s what authorities have rolled out to date:

In March, eggs from Bridgewater Poultry in Victoria led to five people falling ill with salmonella poisoning. They were promptly recalled. 

Ash and Sons Eggs also recalled several batches of their eggs in March. They were: Ash and Sons Blue Mountains Free Range Eggs 700g, Ash and Sons Blue Mountains Cage Free Eggs 700g, Ash and Sons Fresh Eggs From My Farm 800g, Ash and Sons Farm Fresh Eggs 600g, 700g, 800g. These eggs had a best before date 26/04/19 AND 03/05/19. So if you had them, you’d have ditched them already.

In April, Synergy Produce recalled a number of Southern Highland Organic Eggs batches. They were Southern Highland Organic Eggs 300g (6 pack), and the 700g (12 pack) with best before dates up to and including 09/05/2019. 

We’ve ticked over to May and The NSW Food Authority has now recalled several batches of Port Stephens Eggs. The eggs have been on sale at butchers, independent supermarkets and retailers in Port Stephens, NSW.
