However, the latest recall involves 280,800 eggs from Cal-Maine Foods, which distributes to Publix stores in Florida.

The Cal-Maine eggs were purchased from Rose Acre Farms

The FDA announced the Publix product in question under recall order is PUBLIX GRADE A EXTRA LARGE EGGS 18 PACK, with a "best by" date of April 2 and April 3.

"Consumers who believe they may have purchased potentially affected shell eggs should not eat them but should return them to the store where they were purchased," said a USDA statement.

Despite the FDA's announcement naming Publix as one of the stores affected, a Publix spokeswoman said that while Cal-Maine Foods is one of the company's suppliers, Publix eggs are not among the 280,800 eggs affected in the recall.
