Colaboradores
A multi-state Salmonella outbreak linked to eggs has prompted a significant recall. The CDC, FDA, and public health officials are actively investigating the outbreak, which has already affected dozens of individuals across seven states. Consumers, restaurants, and retailers are strongly urged to check their egg supplies and discard any recalled products immediately.
Which Eggs Are Recalled?
The recalled eggs are brown cage-free and brown certified organic eggs supplied by August Egg Company in Hilmar, CA. These eggs were sold under various brand names, including Clover, First Street, Nulaid, O Organics, Marketside, Raleys, Simple Truth, Sun Harvest, and Sunnyside. While these eggs should no longer be available for sale, it’s essential to check your refrigerators to ensure none remain.
How to Identify Recalled Eggs
Look for a printed Julian Date between “32” and “126” followed by a plant code number “P-6562” or “CA-5330” on the egg carton or package. These codes are typically found on one side of the fiber or plastic carton.
Where Were the Eggs Sold?
The recalled eggs were distributed from February 3, 2025, through May 15, 2025, to retail locations in California and Nevada, including Save Mart, FoodMaxx, Lucky, Smart & Final, Safeway, Raleys, Food 4 Less, and Ralphs. They were also distributed to Walmart locations in California, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nebraska, Indiana, and Illinois from February 3, 2025, through May 6, 2025.
Salmonella Symptoms to Watch For
Salmonella infection symptoms typically appear within 12 to 72 hours after consuming contaminated food. Common symptoms include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps, usually lasting four to seven days. Young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems are at a higher risk of severe infections. If you suspect you have a Salmonella infection, seek medical attention immediately.
What To Do If You Have Recalled Eggs
Do not eat, sell, or serve recalled eggs. If you have any of these recalled products, throw them away or return them to the store for a refund. Wash and sanitize any surfaces that may have come into contact with the eggs to prevent further contamination.
The FDA is continuing to investigate the outbreak and determine if the eggs were distributed to other locations. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available. Stay informed and take necessary precautions to protect yourself and your family from Salmonella infection.
