Egg recall: Brown eggs sold at some Walmart stores have salmonella risk
A California company is recalling 1.7 million cartons of brown eggs – sold at stores including Walmart in nine states – because the eggs may be contaminated with salmonella bacteria. August Egg Company of Hilmar, Calif., is recalling 1,700,000 dozen brown cage-free and brown certified organic eggs for potential salmonella risk. The eggs were distributed over the last four months, some with sell by dates as late as June 19, according to the recall notice from the Food and Drug Administration. The eggs are linked to an ongoing Salmonella Enteritidis outbreak in seven states, in which 79 people have been sickened and at least 21 hospitalized, but no deaths have been reported, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Air conditioners recalled: 1.7 million units recalled over mold exposure, respiratory issues Most of the persons sickened (63) live in California, according to the CDC. Nevada and Washington reported four illnesses each, with additional cases in Arizona (3), New Jersey (2), Nebraska (2), Kentucky (1). Ill people in Kentucky, New Jersey, and Washington reported traveling to California and Nevada before they got sick. Most of those sickened (90%) reported eating eggs, the CDC said. Some samples taken by the FDA during an inspection at August Egg Company's processing facility tested positive for the strain of salmonella similar to those related to the persons sickened in the outbreak, the CDC said. August Egg Co. said its internal food safety team is conducting its own investigation to "identify what measures can be established to prevent this situation from recurring," the company said in a statement accompanying the recall. '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." USA TODAY Recall Database: Search vehicle, product and food recalls The recalled eggs were distributed beginning Feb. 3 across multiple retailers in nine states: Eggs with sell-by dates to June 4: Through May 15, eggs with those sell-by dates were distributed to Save Mart, FoodMaxx, Lucky, Smart & Final, Safeway, Raleys, Food 4 Less and Ralphs stores in California and Nevada. Eggs with sell-by dates to June 19: Through May 6, eggs with those sell-by dates were distributed to Walmart locations in California, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nebraska, Indiana and Illinois. August Egg Co. said consumers can identify the recalled eggs by the plant code on one side of the egg carton. They can return the eggs to the place of purchase for a refund. Consumers with questions can call the company at 1-800-710-2554, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT. Here's the products recalled with plant code and UPC. Salmonella causes about 1.35 million illnesses, 26,500 hospitalizations, and 420 deaths each year in the U.S., according to the CDC and FDA. Symptoms of salmonella infection – including diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps – typically arise six hours to six days after exposure and may last 4 to 7 days. Severe infections can also include aches, headaches, elevated fever, lethargy, rashes, and blood in the urine or stool. Mike Snider is a reporter on USA TODAY's Trending team.

FDA: More cucumbers, ready-to-eat products recalled in growing salmonella outbreak
A Maryland food company has recalled specific salsa and cucumber products because they were made with cucumbers that are possibly contaminated with salmonella. TGD Cuts, LLC of Jessup, Maryland, is recalling some tub and tray products because they contained cucumbers from Boynton Beach, Florida-based Bedner Growers Inc., which have been linked to a salmonella outbreak. TGD Cuts distributed the affected products, which included salsas, sliced cucumbers and cucumber spears, to retail and foodservice locations in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and North Carolina, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The products had use-by dates ranging from May 20 to May 28 and are unlikely to be in stores or being used. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the products, the FDA said. Egg recall: Brown eggs sold at some Walmart stores have salmonella risk The initial May 19 recall involved cucumbers sold directly to consumers at Bednar's Farm Fresh Market, according to notices published May 19 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the FDA. Subsequent recalls have been announced by grocers such as Harris Teeter, Kroger and Walmart for repackaged cucumbers for resale under different brand names or those used in ready-to-eat products, including vegetable trays and salads. The cucumbers, distributed by Fresh Start Produce Sales of Delray, Florida, also led to Target recalling individual cucumbers on May 30, specifically cucumber two-packs and various prepared foods products. In addition to the growing cucumber-related recall, other products have been recalled recently for potential salmonella contamination. The FDA on May 28 upgraded a recall of tomatoes distributed in three southern states to a Class I recall, meaning consumption of the food could cause serious health complications or lead to death. Then, on June 6, the CDC and FDA linked brown eggs sold in nine states – including at some Walmart stores – to an ongoing Salmonella Enteritidis outbreak, in which 79 people have been sickened and at least 21 hospitalized. Customers who purchased any products from TGD Cuts should get rid of them or return them for a full refund. Here is the list of products recalled due to a possible salmonella risk.
