Food Lion recalls potato salad that may have tainted eggs

Food Lion and other Delhaize America stores have recalled some store-brand potato salad as well as a national brand potato salad sold in bulk from the stores’ deli cases that may have been made with contaminated eggs, the company said in a press release.

The recalled store-brand products have a use-by date of March 12, 13, 14 or 15. The recalled deli product has a sell-by date of Feb. 8.

The recall includes all Food Lion brand and Hannaford brand potato salad products sold at Food Lion, Bloom, Bottom Dollar Food, Reid’s and Sweetbay grocery stores.

The company received notification from one of its private brand potato salad providers, Reser’s Fine Foods, that the product may have been produced with whole eggs that are part of a broader national recall that may be affected with Listeria monocytogenes.

The recall is being issued “in an abundance of caution,” the company’s press release said, and customers who may have bought the recalled products are urged to return the items to their local stores for a full refund.

Delhaize America grocery stores Hannaford Supermarkets and Harveys are not affected by this recall.
