Black Sheep Egg Company of Walnut Ridge is recalling 12-count and 18-count cartons of free-range large brown eggs after federal health inspectors detected Salmonella contamination at a processing site.
The company has pulled products and notified direct customers about the recall of eggs with best-by dates of Aug. 22 through Oct. 31.
Black Sheep Egg Company also distributed eggs to other companies in both Arkansas and Missouri between July 9 and Sept. 17.
Two UPC codes are affected: 860010568507 and 860010568538.
The recall came after U.S. Food and Drug Administration inspectors collected samples from the processing site and found 40 samples that tested positive for Salmonella bacteria.
Officials report seven different strains of Salmonella were identified, including some known to cause human illness.
None of those strains has been linked to an ongoing outbreak to date according to the FDA.
