Are egg prices about to soar again?
(Zero Hedge)—The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the recall of more than 6 million eggs across at least six states due to Salmonella contamination, according to a recently issued recall notice.
The FDA labeled the recall as Class I, the most severe under the agency’s rules, meaning it is a dangerous or defective product that could cause serious injury or death.
The recall was announced by Arkansas-based Black Sheep Egg Company earlier this month, the FDA said in a news release updated on Oct. 20
The impacted products include Black Sheep Egg Company-branded Free Range Large Grade A Brown Eggs with best by dates of Aug. 22, 2025, to Oct. 31, 2025, on the side of the carton, the FDA said.
“Products may have been further distributed to other states, and additional products will be added to this advisory as information becomes available,” the FDA said.
The Epoch Times’ Jack Phillips reports that the FDA recall notice said that the eggs were sent to retail and wholesale locations in Arkansas and Missouri, and the products were also sent to broker locations in Mississippi, Texas, California, and Indiana.
An Epoch Times review of the notice shows that 522,915 dozen eggs were recalled in all, meaning that more than 6.27 million eggs are under recall.
“FDA is aware that recalled product could still be in people’s homes. More information about the distribution of this product will be provided as it becomes available,” the news release stated.
One of the companies that received the eggs, Texas-based Kenz Henz, on Oct. 16 recalled 12-count packages of Kenz Henz brand of Grade AA Large Pasture Raised eggs that were received from Black Sheep. The eggs were sold at stores in Houston, Texas, the FDA said.
For the Black Sheep recall, the products include Free Range Grade A Large Brown Eggs, Free Range Grade AA Large Brown Eggs, Free Range Grade AA Medium Brown Eggs, Free Range Grade AA Large White Eggs, and Free Range Grade AA Medium White Eggs.
The recalled products have UPC codes of either 860010568507 or 860010568538, the FDA said.
In a separate announcement from the FDA on Oct. 17, no illnesses have been reported to date in connection with that specific recall. However, it’s not clear if any illnesses were reported to the agency in connection with the broader Black Sheep Egg Company recall.
The recalled Kenz Henz eggs are packaged in a 12-count carton that has a UPC code of 86949400030, with a best by date of Oct. 11 to Oct. 14, and Oct. 16 to Oct. 17 stamped on the side of the carton, according to the agency.
The FDA has warned consumers, retailers, and distributors not to eat, sell, or serve the recalled Black Sheep Egg Company eggs.
The health agency added that people should check their refrigerator for the recalled eggs and should throw them out or return them to the point of purchase. Consumers are also advised to clean and sanitize any areas or containers that the eggs may have touched.
People who may have been exposed to the eggs should look out for Salmonella symptoms, including diarrhea, fever, vomiting, dehydration, and abdominal cramps, among others. If symptoms develop, the FDA recommends that the person contact a health care provider.
Symptoms generally begin between six hours and six days after exposure and last up to a week, health officials say.
Although most people recover without medical treatment, the illness can be severe, especially for young children, older adults, and people with compromised immune systems.
Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
