Two Meijer stores in Grand Rapids, Mich., have recalled diced hard-boiled eggs salad bars because they were supplied by a company whose eggs are linked to Listeria monocytogenes outbreak.

Meijer posted a notice on the Food and Drug Administration’s recall website on Dec. 31. No illnesses have been reported from the Meijer salad bar eggs.
