Food Recall Update: Class 1 Alert Issued for Costco Eggs Linked to Salmonella






By India Edwards HealthDay Reporter

THURSDAY, Dec. 26, 2024 -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has escalated the recall of sure eggs sold at Costco to its highest Class 1 alert level due to salmonella contamination risks.

According to the FDA, The Handsome Brook Farms Kirkland Signature Organic Pasture Raised 24-Count Eggs were distributed to Costco locations in Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

The FDA's AS 1 designation signifies a "reasonable probably "that consuming the eggs could cause" serious adverse health consequences "r" eath," the news release shows.

Starting Nov. 22, approximately 10,800 retail units of the eggs were distributed to 25 Costco stores. However, the recall was issued on Nov. 27 after the company found that eggs not intended for retail sale were packaged and shipped in retail cartons.

Handsome Brook Farms emphasized that "additional supply chain controls and retraining are being implemented to prevent a recurrence."

The affected egg cartons have a Universal Product Code (UPC) of 9661910680 and a use-by date of Jan. 5, 2025.

The FDA advised consumers to immediately return the eggs to Costco for a full refund or dispose of them.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cautions that salmonella infections can cause severe stomach cramps, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, headaches, and loss of appetite.

Symptoms typically appear six hours to six days after infection and can last up to a week.

Certain groups, including children under 5, adults over 65, and individuals with weakened immune systems, may face more severe illnesses requiring medical care or hospitalization.

MUSCLES EXERCISING POWERS NEURON GROWTH AND REPAIR

  MUSCLES EXERCISING POWERS NEURON GROWTH AND REPAIR The findings suggest that biochemicals released during exercise and the physical effects of exercise could help heal nerves. Exercise is good for the body. Regular activity strengthens muscles and can strengthen bones, blood vessels, and the immune system. Now, MIT engineers have found that exercise can also have benefits at the level of individual neurons. They observed that muscles contract during exercise and release biochemical signals called myokines. In these muscle-generated signals, neurons grew four times further than neurons not exposed to myokines. These cellular-level experiments suggest that exercise can have a significant biochemical effect on nerve growth. Surprisingly, the researchers also found that neurons respond to the biochemical signals of exercise and its physical impacts. The team observed that when neurons are repeatedly pulled back and forth, similar to how muscles contract and expand during trainin...

  CANNABIS, THE PHANTOM MENACE, MORE DANGEROUS THAN IMAGINED  Scientists have known for some time that cannabis use has deleterious effects on health long-term. The evidence keeps piling up of how dangerous this drug can be.  A recent study conducted at McGill University showed how cannabis increases the risks of psychosis. These are just the latest concerns, as cannabis has also been implicated in increasing heart attacks and stroke risks, according to a study of 430,000 adults conducted by the American Heart Association. According to findings at McGill University, Young adults at risk of psychosis show reduced brain connectivity, a deficit that cannabis use appears to worsen. In the first-of-its-kind study, McGill University researchers detected a marked decrease in synaptic density -- the connections between neurons that enable brain communication -- in indivi...
