Plain-English summary

Nutriom LLC, a Lacey, Washington establishment, is recalling approximately 226,710 pounds of dried egg products that may be contaminated with Salmonella. The recall includes various OvaEasy and Wise Company products in both super sacks and consumer-sized packages. The affected products were produced between February 28, 2013, and February 8, 2014, and bear the establishment number INSPECTED EGG PRODUCTS PLANT 21493G inside the USDA Mark of Inspection.

The issue was discovered by Washington State Laboratories in response to a billing inquiry by Nutriom LLC, which led to the notification of FSIS personnel regarding discrepancies in laboratory results. These products were shipped nationwide, to U.S. military installations in the United States and abroad, and to Canada. FSIS and the company have received no reports of illnesses due to consumption of these products.

Consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, a bacterial foodborne illness characterized by diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever. While most people recover without treatment, older adults, infants, and persons with weakened immune systems are at higher risk for severe illness. Individuals concerned about an illness should contact their health care provider.
