Egg Recall Map Shows Warnings Issued to Customers in 9 States
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. August Egg Company has issued a recall on Friday for 1,700,000 brown cage-free and certified organic brown eggs due to potential fears of salmonella. Newsweek reached out to the company after hours via phone Friday night for comment. Why It Matters Numerous recalls have been initiated this year due to the potential for the following: damaged products, foodborne illness, contamination and undeclared food allergens. Millions of Americans experience food sensitivities or food allergies every year. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the nine "major" food allergens in the U.S. are eggs, milk, fish, wheat, soybeans, Crustacean shellfish, sesame, tree nuts and peanuts. The FDA warns that salmonella is an organism that could cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in frail or older people, young children and those with weakened immune systems. What To Know The FDA says in its alert that some of the eggs were distributed to grocery stores including Save Mart, FoodMaxx, Lucky, Smart & Final, Safeway, Raleys, Food 4 Less and Ralphs. Those eggs were distributed from February 3, 2025, to May 15, 2025, with sell by dates of March 4, 2025, and June 4, 2025, in both California and Nevada. The FDA says additional eggs were distributed from February 3, 2025, to May 6, 2025, with sell by dates of March 4, 2025, and June 19, 2025, in Walmart stores in Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, New Mexico, California, Washington, Nevada, Arizona and Wyoming. The plant code numbers for the recalled eggs can be found printed on the package and are P-6562 or CA5330 with Julian Dates from 32 to 126, the FDA says. The Julian Dates are codes of three to seven digits and represent the date that the food was packaged or manufactured. "This recall is associated with an ongoing outbreak investigation of Salmonella Enteritidis illnesses" the alert says, adding the investigation is related to products distributed in the nine states. The FDA alert also has a chart of the Julian Dates with corresponding item names. What People Are Saying The FDA alert, in part: "August Egg Company is not selling fresh shell eggs at this time. Our firm has voluntarily been diverting eggs to an egg-breaking plant for over 30 days, which pasteurizes the eggs and kills any potential foodborne pathogens." August Egg Company in the FDA alert: "August Egg Company of Hilmar, CA is voluntarily recalling 1,700,000 dozen shell eggs processed at our California plant and sold to various grocery customers. This recall has been initiated due to possible Salmonella enteritidis contamination, which poses a health risk. With that in mind, we believe it is appropriate out of an abundance of caution to conduct this voluntary recall, as consumers may still have these eggs in their homes. "It is important to know that when our processing plant identified this concern, we immediately began diverting all eggs from the plant to an egg-breaking facility, which pasteurizes the eggs and kills any pathogens. "August Egg Company's internal food safety team also is conducting its own stringent review to identify what measures can be established to prevent this situation from recurring. We are committed to addressing this matter fully and to implementing all necessary corrective actions to ensure this does not happen again." What Happens Next Customers with additional questions can call August Egg Company at 1-800-710-2554 from 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT and can also return the eggs to the original place of purchase for a refund.

Trump Says He'll 'Take A Look' At Elon Musk's Government Contracts
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. President Donald Trump has said he plans to "take a look" at Elon Musk's government contracts after their huge blow-up. In the midst of the dispute on Thursday, Trump had warned that the "easiest way" to save bullions in the budget was to "terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts." Cooler heads prevailed on Friday, with Musk and Trump refraining from slinging direct insults at each other. But when asked if he planned to go through with his threat to cut Musk's government subsidies, by a reporter on Air Force One, Trump did not rule it out. "We'll take a look at everything. It's a lot of money. It's a lot of subsidy. So we'll take a look at that — only if it's fair for him and for the country ... but it has to be fair," he said. This is a breaking news story, updates to follow.

Michael Cohen Sends Message to Elon Musk After Feud With Trump Erupts
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Michael Cohen, the former personal attorney to Donald Trump, asked Elon Musk to get in touch amid his public fallout with the president on Thursday. Newsweek reached out to Musk for comment via Tesla's press email. Why It Matters Musk, a fierce Trump ally who headed the Department of Government Efficiency until last month, sparred with the president on Thursday after criticizing his "One Big Beautiful Bill." The Tesla CEO wrote in a series of social media posts that Republicans would not have won in 2024 without his support, and alleged that Trump was named in the Epstein files. The collapse of the Trump-Musk relationship has potential consequences for technology, business and American politics, as both wield considerable influence over politics and the business community. Cohen was once a central figure in Trump world, serving as the president's personal attorney and "fixer." He had a public falling out with the president after he served a prison sentence for charges of tax evasion, making false statements to a federally insured bank, and campaign finance violations. Cohen is now a vocal Trump critic who offers insights into how the president operates. What to Know Cohen wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday: "@elonmusk I told you this would happen. If you want to know how to fight political guerrilla warfare, DM me! Otherwise, you lose." He linked to a Substack post he published a day earlier in which he wrote that he believes Musk saw the fallout coming, as no one would "call out Trump in public unless you're looking to start a war; or you've already booked a flight to exile." Cohen wrote that Trump has "the full weight of the federal government behind him, and that Musk "made the classic mistake of believing he was untouchable." "Let me make something crystal clear: no one; not Bannon, not Jared, not Rudy, not me, and definitely not Elon, has ever been more important to Trump than Trump. The 'bromance' is never about you. It's about what he can extract from you. Your loyalty. Your power. Your credibility. Your money. And when it's over, it's not just over; it's scorched earth," he wrote. Michael Cohen leaves his home to attend President Donald Trump's hush money trial in New York City on May 14, 2024. Michael Cohen leaves his home to attend President Donald Trump's hush money trial in New York City on May 14, 2024. DavidCohen predicted on MSNBC last weekend that Trump would "ultimately go after Elon's money next because it bothers him that he is the richest man in the world." "Yes, he used him for his money," he said. "Now he's going to go and figure out how Elon with his companies took advantage of the United States of America." What People Are Saying President Donald Trump, on Thursday: "Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore. I was surprised. You were here. Everybody in this room practically was here as we had a wonderful send-off. He said wonderful things about me. You couldn't have nicer-said the best things. He's worn the hat. Trump was right about everything, and I am right about the 'Great Big Beautiful Bill.'" Elon Musk, on X: "Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate." John Bolton, who previously served as Trump's national security adviser, told USA Today: "It's going to end up like most mud fights do, with both of them worse off. The question is how much worse the country is going to be off." Steve Bannon, former Trump adviser, told The New York Times: "They should initiate a formal investigation of his [Musk] immigration status because I am of the strong belief that he is an illegal alien, and he should be deported from the country immediately." What Happens Next The fallout between Trump and Musk remains unresolved as of Friday afternoon, though the feud has become quiet since Thursday. Many are speculating about what could happen next, but it's unclear when they may meet again to try to reconcile.
