Black Sheep Egg recalls Free Range Large Grade A eggs over salmonella

Black Sheep Egg Company of Walnut Ridge, Arkansas, has recalled 12‑count and 18‑count cartons of its Free Range Large Grade A brown eggs after U.S. Food and Drug Administration inspectors found salmonella contamination at the company’s egg processing site, the agency said. The recall covers cartons with best‑by dates of August 22 through October 31, 2025, sold in retail locations and distributed to other businesses in Arkansas and Missouri between July 9 and September 17, 2025. The affected products carry UPC codes 860010568507 and 860010568538.

The recall was initiated after FDA investigators collected environmental samples at the processing facility; 40 samples tested positive for salmonella, and seven different strains of the bacteria were identified, including some known to cause human illness, the agency said. FDA officials added that none of the strains detected have been linked to an ongoing outbreak to date. Black Sheep Egg Company voluntarily pulled the specified cartons and notified direct customers, and the agency said the recall may expand as more information becomes available.
