Steve’s Fresh Farm Eggs’ Fresh Eggs From My Farm were pulled off the shelves on Tuesday due to potential microbial contamination, the NSW Food Authority announced. 

The products are sold at butchers and independent stores across NSW. 

The affected eggs include the brand’s free-range dozen as well as caged eggs with dates up to May 6.

The NSW Food Authority has warned consuming salmonella may cause food borne illnesses and urged shoppers who may have purchased the eggs to return them for a full refund.  

The recall comes weeks after a different brand of eggs sold at IGA and bakeries across NSW were recalled due to salmonella fears.  

Earlier this month, Southern Highland Organic Eggs were pulled off the shelves by Synergy Produce due to potential microbial contamination.

Earlier in April, Southern Highland Organic Eggs are being recalled by Synergy Produce Pty Ltd due to potential microbial contamination
