The recall was initiated in response to an ongoing investigation by the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) into a multistate outbreak of Salmonella that has sickened 79 people and resulted in 21 hospitalizations so far.

The recalled eggs are no longer in stores, but the FDA is concerned they may still be in consumers' homes. Per FDA guidance, check your refrigerators for the recalled brown cage-free and brown certified organic eggs. If you have the recalled eggs, throw them away or return them to the original place of purchase for a full refund.
If you stored the eggs without their original packaging and can't tell if they are part of this outbreak, the FDA urges you to discard them out of an abundance of caution. Additionally, be sure to carefully clean and sanitize any surfaces that may have come in contact with the contaminated eggs.
Further questions about this recall may be directed to August Egg Company at 1-800-710-2554, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT.
If you believe you have already consumed the recalled eggs, you should monitor yourself for symptoms of a Salmonella infection. The most common symptoms include diarrhea, stomach cramps, dehydration, vomiting, and fever higher than 102°F—and, typically, symptoms begin between six hours and six days after eating the contaminated food. If you're experiencing any of those symptoms, contact your healthcare provider.
While most individuals feel better after four to seven days, Salmonella can cause serious infections in children, older individuals, and those with weakened immune systems. To learn more about Salmonella, visit the CDC website.

Millions of Eggs Were Just Recalled due to Connection With Salmonella Outbreak—Here's What to Know
Millions of Eggs Were Just Recalled due to Connection With Salmonella Outbreak—Here's What to Know originally appeared on Parade. As far as crisis PR goes, eggs are having the worst 2025 so far, and they might want to consider new representation. The humble, complete protein, versatile kitchen ingredient, and inspiration behind puns aplenty has been marred with bombshell reports of record price hikes, bird flu contamination, and shortages, causing consumers to search for alternatives to the eggcellent breakfast staple. What seemed to be a minor blip in the food supply chain has since ballooned to a full-scale catastrophe of epic proportions, and things don't seem to be getting any the fact that reporting has all but halted, the bird flu is still running rampant, and although the exorbitant prices have started to level, it's still a good idea to consider that you might have picked up a carton of bad eggs as opposed to good ones. We'd hate to see you end up with egg on your face—or worse. Not to egg things on, but the latest blind item might make you reconsider making that frittata for breakfast altogether or even swear off eggs for if they needed any more salacious gossip to hide from, the latest word on the street is that eggs sold at Walmart, Safeway, and several other stores were just recalled due to a salmonella outbreak that has sickened dozens of people across seven states and put 21 people in the hospital. Talk about being a rotten egg. On June 6, the August Egg Company of Hilmar, California, issued a voluntary recall of 1.7 million dozen eggs produced at its facilities after discovering that the eggs were potentially contaminated with salmonella. The affected eggs were distributed between February and May to Walmart, SaveMart, FoodMaxx, Lucky, Smart & Final, Safeway, Raley's, Food 4 Less, and Ralph's. So far, the only confirmed cases are spread across seven states, including Arizona, California, Kentucky, Nebraska, New Jersey, Nevada, and Washington. Of the states, California has the highest number of cases at 63, while the remaining states all have four cases each. It's worth noting that some people's Salmonella symptoms resolve without the need to contact a medical professional at all, so the actual number of cases could be even higher. You can find the full list of recalled items here, along with photos of their cartons, and if you happen to have purchased any of the impacted products, it's recommended that you discard them immediately.

20 million eggs recalled from Walmart, Safeway other stores in WA, other states
A salmonella outbreak has caused the recall of 1.7 million dozen eggs and has sickened 79 people in seven states. Four people in Washington have been reported sick, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration continues to track the outbreak. There have been no deaths. The recall was issued June 6 for 20 million eggs distributed to Walmart, Safeway, chains owned by Kroger and various other independent and chain supermarkets around the country. The Centers for Disease Control is recommending that people throw the eggs away. Hilmar, California's August Egg Co., a division of Gemperle Enterprises, produced the eggs and issued the recall last week. 'August Egg Company is not selling fresh shell eggs at this time,' the company-written, FDA-posted recall notice said. '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.' Packaging for the recalled eggs will have plant code P-6562 or CA5330 with the Julian Dates between 32 to 126. The eggs that went to Walmart stores had sell-by dates from March 4 through June 19. Other retailers got eggs with 'sell by dates' from March 4 through June 4. The recall section of Walmart's website say the egg recall involves its stores in two dozen states, including Washington. The FDA's recall list includes California, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nebraska, Indiana and Illinois. Here are specific brands to look for: ▪ Marketside (a Walmart store brand): Organic Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18; Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18. ▪ First Street (a Smart & Final house brand): Cage Free Large Brown loose eggs. ▪ Clover: Organic Large Brown Eggs, one dozen. ▪ Nulaid: One dozen Medium Brown Cage Free, one dozen Jumbo Brown Cage Free. ▪ O Organics: Cage Free Large Brown, six eggs; and Large Brown, 12 and 18 eggs. This brand will be found at Safeway and other Albertson's-owned stores. ▪ Raley's (store brand): Large Cage Free Brown, 12 eggs: Organic Large Cage Free Brown, 12 and 18 eggs. ▪ Simple Truth: Cage Free Large Brown and Medium Brown 18 eggs. This brand will be found at Food 4 Less, Ralphs and other Kroger-owned chains. ▪ Sun Harvest: Organic Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18. ▪ Sunnyside: Organic Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18; and Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18. An outbreak update from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says 79 people have been sickened in this outbreak with 21 hospitalizations. Most of those have been in California, with four in Washington. The remaining 10 break down as Nevada (four); Arizona (three); Nebraska and New Jersey (two each); and Kentucky (one). Salmonella outbreaks tend to be under-counted because most people recover without medical attention. The CDC estimates about 1.35 million people in the United States will get salmonella each year. Of that number, 26,400 will be hospitalized, usually driven to the hospital by bloody diarrhea, and 420 will die. Usually, salmonella means a few days of diarrhea, vomiting, fever and stomachaches. The Mayo Clinic notes that salmonella symptoms include: Nausea and/or vomiting Abdominal cramps Diarrhea and/or blood in the stool Fever Chills Headache If you have any of the recalled eggs listed above, return them to the store for a refund or throw them deep into the garbage. If you have any questions about the recalls, call August Farms at 800-710-2554, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, Pacific time.
