Essex Trading Standards has warned consumers not to eat shell eggs from Ukraine stamped with code 3UA1012066 after Salmonella was detected.

Essex Trading Standards has warned consumers not to eat certain shell eggs imported from Ukraine after Salmonella contamination was detected. The affected eggs originate from Yasensvit Ltd in Kyiv and are stamped with the code 3UA1012066. Food safety officials have ordered a recall and withdrawal from consumers.

Consumers are urged to check the code stamped directly on their eggs. Any eggs carrying the code 3UA1012066 should not be eaten and must be disposed of safely at home. Food businesses have been told to immediately stop selling or using the affected eggs and to carry out product withdrawals and recalls where necessary.

The eggs may have been repackaged by other UK businesses, meaning the details on outer packaging could differ from the original producer. However, the code stamped on the egg itself remains the key identifier. Trading Standards has advised food businesses to check their supply chains and inspect eggs in their possession.

While the eggs are not sold through major supermarket chains, they are widely used in the catering industry and may also be available from smaller retailers such as convenience stores and corner shops. Salmonella is a bacterium that causes food poisoning, with symptoms including diarrhoea, stomach cramps, sickness and fever.

Anyone with eggs stamped with the code 3UA1012066 is advised not to consume them and to dispose of them safely at home.
