Almark Foods is recalling specific lots of White Medium Eggs after FDA and CDC identified a potential Listeria monocytogenes genetic match with an illness outbreak.

What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that the genetic match is associated with an 'illness outbreak' and 'case patient samples,' indicating reported illnesses. Per the rubric, FDA Class I recalls involving reported illness or high-risk pathogens like Listeria monocytogenes in an outbreak context warrant a Critical severity score.
