Salmonella-contaminated Ukrainian eggs recalled; consumers told not to eat them
Eggs imported from Ukraine bearing the code 3UA1012066 have been recalled after Salmonella was detected, and the Food Standards Agency warns the public and food businesses to discard them.
A recall has been launched for Ukrainian eggs after Salmonella contamination w. The eggs, produced by Yasensvit Ltd in Kyiv, are marked with the shell code 3UA1012066, which should be used to identify the unsafe batches because repackaging may have altered outer labels. The warning targets both consumers and food-service operators, urging them to remove the eggs from sale, halt their use, and discard them safely at home.
Most of the affected stock is believed to have reached the catering sector, though some may have been sold in independent shops and convenience stores. The agency notes that thoroughly cooked eggs handled hygienically pose no risk, and advises anyone experiencing fever, diarrhoea or abdominal cramps to avoid public places until symptom-free for 48 hours.
Why it matters
Consuming contaminated eggs can cause salmonella infection, posing a health risk to the public.
