Food standards authorities said the eggs originate from a Ukrainian supplier
A “do not eat” warning has been issued to consumers and businesses after Salmonella was identified in certain eggs imported from Ukraine.
Food Standards Scotland (FSS) and the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said the eggs originate from Yasensvit Ltd, Kyiv, Ukraine, and are stamped with the code 3UA1012066, which is printed directly onto the shell.
The eggs may have been supplied to catering businesses or sold through smaller retail outlets.
The eggs may have been repacked by UK businesses and sold under different business names or packing centre details on the outer packaging, making the egg stamp code the most reliable way to identify affected products, FSS said.
“The FSA’s advice is that if people have bought any of the affected products, do not eat them and instead, dispose of them at home, as they may be unsafe,” it said.
The symptoms usually start within a few hours or a few days of eating food that caused the infection.
