Company Announcement

Due to a recent recall by Almark, an ingredient supplier, and out of an abundance of caution for safety of our customers St. Louis based Dierbergs Markets is recalling various products in all 25 retail stores. The hardboiled egg products have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Almark’s product is associated with an outbreak of Listeriosis illness consisting of 7 known illnesses in 5 states. No illnesses are linked to Dierberg products to date, but the epidemiological investigation is ongoing. The products are being recalled as a precautionary measure given the health and safety of our consumers is our top priority.

All of the implicated products have been removed from store shelves. Product was distributed to all Dierbergs Markets retail locations in eastern and central Missouri and western Illinois.
