What does this mean for the MFC and our customers?
Certified Organic Eggs from Larry Schultz Farm, MN have been recalled due to salmonella contamination. The Marquette Food Co-op would like to encourage all of those who may have purchased eggs with an expiration date on or before 286 EXP NOV 12 or 286 NOV 12 at our store to return them for a full refund. This information can be found on the side of the egg carton. If the carton has a plant number, any additional numbers or letters or a “sell by” date on the label, they are not part of the recall.
October 2, 2011 was the last time that we sold a carton of Larry Schultz eggs. The date of the reported contamination and illness is August 12 to September 24. We have no way of knowing if the Larry Schultz eggs we sold during this period of time are part of the recall. Regardless, bring back any Larry Schultz eggs to the Marquette Food Co-op for a full refund.
The frozen chicken we buy is not part of the recall, and we do not currently have Larry Schultz eggs in stock. All eggs on our shelves at this time are from local farms.
Thank you,
