The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is warning of a listeria outbreak involving store-bought hard-boiled eggs. Seven people in five states have gotten food poisoning so far, and one in Texas has died. The CDC didn't indicate where the Texas death took place. The agency says the hard-boiled eggs were sold in plastic containers to be used in products like salads. It's believed the brand Almark Foods in Georgia is the likely source. The company has four facilities and delivers nationwide. The product has not been recalled.
