The same bacteria that was found in cantaloupe from a Colorado farm earlier this year, that sickened and even killed some that consumed it, listeria, is feared to have contaminated more than a million hard-cooked eggs. A Minnesota food company said it is recalling the hard cooked eggs after lab testing by a third party revealed that some eggs may have been contaminated. 

The company determined that a repair project in a packaging room was the likely source of contamination.

The eggs are sold under six brand names: Columbia Valley Farms; GFS; Glenview Farms; Papetti’s; Silverbrook; and Wholesome Farms. Only lot codes immediately preceded by a “1″ AND ending in a “W” are affected.

Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy people may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, the infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
