ATLANTA – An Alabama farm has recalled its eggs after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention linked them to a multi-state salmonella outbreak.

According to the Atlanta-based CDC, eggs from Gravel Ridge Farms in Cullman, Alabama could be contaminated.

On September 8, the CDC reported that Gravel Ridge Farms had recalled packages of a dozen and 2.5 dozen eggs in cardboard containers with UPC code 7-06970-38444-6. The recalled eggs have an expiry date from July 25, 2018 to October 3, 2018.

The recalled eggs were sold in grocery stores and restaurants in Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee.

The CDC urges anyone who purchased the recalled eggs to return the Gravel Ridge Farms eggs to the store for a refund or to dispose of them, regardless of the expiration date. The CDC says that even if some eggs have been eaten and no one has fallen ill, do not eat the remaining eggs. In addition, the CDC encourages consumers to wash and disinfect refrigerator drawers or shelves where the recalled eggs were stored.
