The Highland Council is warning the public not to eat or use eggs stamped with the code 3UA1012066, after Salmonella was detected in eggs imported from Ukraine.
The eggs may have been sold through independent retailers and convenience stores, potentially under different packaging.
Anyone who has bought eggs with this code should return them to the shop for a refund, or dispose of them safely.
Salmonella can cause fever, diarrhoea and stomach cramps. Anyone experiencing symptoms should seek medical advice.

Scientists at the University of Glasgow are launching a new study into the diseases spread by midges and mosquitoes, including the risks to people and livestock.
The research aims to improve the UK’s ability to prepare for future outbreaks, with recent cases of bluetongue virus in animals believed to have been spread by midges.
Researchers will combine laboratory work with field studies across the UK to better understand how these insects transmit disease and how the risks can be reduced.
