  • Egg Recall Information
  • October 20th, 2011
  • The Minnesota Department of Agriculture has issued a product recall of Larry Schultz Eggs due to the presence of salmonella.  The eggs sold at the St. Peter Food Co-op are NOT part of this recall.  If you need further information visit the website of the Department of Agriculture at http://www.mda.state.mn.us/, or ask to speak to Margo O’Brien, General Manager.

    Larry Schultz is working feverously to rectify this situation.  These eggs come from a three generation farm that takes great pride in their product.  Germs have no respect for size or certification.

    However, we stand behind all our products and will gladly return any Larry Schultz eggs purchased with sell by dates on or before November 12.
