Black Sheep Egg Company Recall: Salmonella Contamination Alert for Free Range Large Grade A Brown Eggs

Black Sheep Egg Company has announced a recall for its 12- and 18-count cartons of Free Range Large Grade A Brown Eggs due to potential Salmonella contamination. The recall includes eggs with Best By dates ranging from August 22, 2025, to October 31, 2025, and specific UPC codes. The FDA discovered Salmonella in environmental samples during an inspection of Black Sheep Egg Company's facility in Walnut Ridge, AR, prompting the recall.

The recall extends to eggs distributed by Black Sheep Egg Company to other companies in Arkansas and Missouri, which may have been repackaged and distributed to other states. Kenz Henz of Santa Fe, TX, has also recalled its 12-count packages of Grade AA Large Pasture Raised eggs received from Black Sheep Egg Company and sold in Houston, TX. The FDA warns that recalled products may still be in consumers' homes and advises against consuming, selling, or serving the affected eggs.

Consumers, restaurants, and retailers are encouraged to check their refrigerators for the recalled products and either dispose of them or return them. Symptoms of Salmonella infection, such as diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps, typically appear within 12 to 72 hours after consumption. Individuals at higher risk for severe infections include children under five, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. It is important to follow the FDA's safe handling and cleaning guidelines to minimize the risk of cross-contamination and seek medical attention if symptoms of Salmonella infection arise.
