Three major food recalls were issued in the last two weeks of August.
Eggs produced by County Eggs, LLC, were recalled for possible Salmonella contamination after being connected to a 95-person outbreak.
Blue Bell Ice Cream pulled cartons from shelves over a dangerous labeling mix-up, and potential mold growth led to a recall of Hostess Ding Dongs.
Here’s what to check for in your fridge, freezer, and pantry.
Last Wednesday, Country Eggs, LLC recalled large brown eggs sold in two states due to possible Salmonella contamination, which can cause serious foodborne illness.

In mid-August, Blue Bell Creameries, LP, recalled over 16,000 tubs of ice cream in 16 states due to a dangerous labeling error.
The brand’s Moo-llennium Crunch Ice Cream was accidentally packaged in Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough cartons, which do not list the almond, walnut, and pecan allergens contained in the product. The mislabeled cartons still have a Moo-llennium Crunch lid.
Last Thursday, the FDA gave the recall the second-highest risk level. People with an allergy or sensitivity to the nuts run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they eat the ice cream. If you can consume the nuts, the product is otherwise safe to eat.
The recalled ice cream was packaged in the wrong container but has the correct lid.

Hostess Ding Dongs were pulled from shelves nationwide on Aug. 20 due to possible mold contamination.
A mechanical issue during production created conditions that may have allow for mold growth before the products’ expiration dates. J.M. Smucker Co., the parent company of Hostess, said it has resolved the problem.
If you have the recalled Ding Dongs, throw them away or return them for a refund or replacement.
The recalled Ding Dongs may develop mold before their expiration date.
