Almark Recalls Boiled Eggs Due to Listeria Genetic Match

Almark Foods is recalling Peckish boiled eggs after FDA and CDC identified a Listeria monocytogenes genetic match between facility samples and patient cases.

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 'case patient samples associated with an illness outbreak,' which implies reported illnesses. Under the rubric, FDA Class I recalls involving reported illness or serious injury are classified as Critical (Score 5).
