Wegmans Food Markets is recalling hard-cooked eggs because of possible contamination with Listeria bacteria.
The Rochester-based company is also recalling prepared deli foods that contain hard-cooked eggs like deviled eggs, egg salad, and deli salads with eggs.
The products were sold between Jan. 23 and Feb. 1 at Wegmans stores in Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse, Canandaigua, Newark, Geneva, Corning, Elmira, Geneseo, and Hornell. It's the result of a recall by Minnesota-based Michael Foods, which produces the cooked eggs at its Wakefield, Nebraska facility.
Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy people may suffer only short-term symptoms such as fever, headache, nausea and diarrhea.
There have been no reports of illness.
