U-46 sends notice of national food recall

Parents at Streamwood High School were alerted Friday to a nationwide recall of a product sold during the school’s lunch service a day earlier.

The precautionary recall of GFS hard-boiled eggs was due to laboratory tests that revealed the potential contamination of listeria, a notification from the district said. There have been no reports of illness, and district officials assured parents the risk of illness was very low, district spokesman Tony Sanders said.

Sanders said two of the salads containing the hard-boiled eggs were sold on Thursday. But because the district cannot identify which students purchased the salads, a notification was sent to all Streamwood High parents, Sanders said.

Symptoms of listeria include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Students at Streamwood High School who ate the eggs and experience any of the above symptoms should call a doctor, the news release says.
