Egg recall over salmonella concerns expands
FDA inspection found 40 environmental samples tested positive for salmonella at Black Sheep Egg Company facility
FDA chief explains how agency is 'rewriting the food pyramid'
FDA commissioner Dr. Marty Makary outlines the issues associated with petroleum-based food dyes and the 'bigger issue' the agency aims to tackle on 'The Evening Edit.'
Black Sheep Egg Company recalled several cartons of its free-range large grade A brown eggs due to the potential that they may be contaminated by salmonella, federal health officials said.
Black Sheep Egg Company initiated a recall following a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection that found 40 environmental samples at its egg processing facility tested positive for salmonella.
Some of the strains found "are known to cause human illness," the FDA said. However, the FDA said there isn't information available at this time to suggest that this firm is the source of an ongoing outbreak.

The company's 12- and 18-count cartons with "best by" dates of Aug. 22, 2025, through Oct. 31, 2025, were impacted by the recall. The Arkansas-based egg producer also distributed eggs to other companies in Arkansas and Missouri between July 9, 2025, and Sept. 17, 2025, that may have repackaged them, according to the FDA.
Federal officials say products may have also been further distributed to other states. Any additional products impacted by this recall will be added to this advisory as information becomes available.
