Recalled eggs were distributed in nine states:
Arizona, California, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, Washington, and Wyoming
Confirmed salmonella cases have been reported in:Arizona, California, Kentucky, Nebraska, New Jersey, Nevada, and Washington
The FDA is still investigating, so more locations may be added.

Illnesses started as early as February 24, 2025, and continued through May 17, 2025. Of those who became ill:
27 of 30 reported eating eggs or egg-containing dishes.
21 people were hospitalized.
No deaths have been reported.
FDA traceback efforts identified August Egg Company as the common supplier. Environmental testing confirmed Salmonella Enteritidis contamination at their processing facility.
Salmonella can cause serious illness—especially in:
Children under 5.
Older adults.
People with weakened immune systems.
Diarrhea (sometimes bloody).
Fever over 102°F.
headaches.
Stomach cramps.
Dehydration (dry mouth, dizziness, fewer wet diapers).
Symptoms usually appear 12 to 72 hours after exposure and last 4 to 7 days.
Call your doctor or pediatrician right away if you notice any of these signs in your child or yourself.
Do not eat the eggs.If you spot the recalled codes (P-6562 or CA-5330) or are unsure of origin, throw them out or return them for a refund.
Sanitize thoroughly.Wash any surfaces, containers, utensils, or dishes that may have come into contact with the eggs using hot, soapy water or a dishwasher.
Wash hands before and after handling eggs.Even small traces of contamination can spread in your kitchen if not cleaned properly.
Meal prep is already stressful. Discovering a recall on something as basic as eggs? It's enough to make any parent feel overwhelmed.
But this isn't about blame—it's about staying informed and acting quickly. The good news? Most people recover fully from salmonella, and awareness is your best defense.
If you've served eggs recently and your child seems fine, take a deep breath. But if you do notice symptoms—or can't confirm your eggs are safe—it's OK to toss them. Your peace of mind matters too.

Think You Know Sunscreen? Take Our Quiz.
Beach days and barbecues. Picnics and outdoor concerts. It's summer, and you can't forget about sun safety. Sunscreen is usually the first line of defense, but people might not be as protected as they assume. Think you're an S.P.F. savant? Take our quiz to find out. 1 of 10 You're at the drugstore to buy sunscreen. You know S.P.F. stands for sun protection factor, but what exactly does that mean? It's the number of minutes you can stay in the sun before you should reapply. It's a measure of the total ultraviolet radiation blocked by sunscreen. It's a measure of the UVB radiation blocked by sunscreen. S.P.F. is a marketing term, and it doesn't mean all that much. 2 of 10 You're trying to decide between mineral or chemical sunscreen. Which of these statements is true? Chemical sunscreens are outdated and are no longer recommended by dermatologists. Mineral sunscreens take 15 to 20 minutes to start working, while chemical sunscreens work instantly. Chemical sunscreens tend to feel lighter on the skin, while mineral sunscreens are better for sensitive skin. Mineral sunscreens don't expire, while chemical sunscreens do. 3 of 10 You decide to buy mineral sunscreen. What's the best way to avoid that ghostly white cast? There's nothing you can do. An oxidation reaction with your skin turns the sunscreen white. Just wait 15 to 20 minutes after applying. Once the minerals settle in, the white cast will disappear. Only use a small amount and rub the sunscreen in well. Look for a sheer or tinted formula. 4 of 10 While waiting to check out, you remember hearing about trendy Korean sunscreens. Why aren't international sunscreens easily available in the United States? The United States regulates all sunscreens as over-the-counter drugs, which makes it difficult to bring new formulas to market. The United States regulates them as prescription drugs, so you need a doctor to prescribe you Korean sunscreen. Major retailers in the United States refuse to carry imported sunscreens because of tariffs. The United States has found their formulas to be unsafe. 5 of 10 You're finally at the beach! But a sea gull swoops in and steals your sunscreen. How much protection are you getting from your white T-shirt? Around S.P.F. 20. Around S.P.F. 10. None at all. It depends on whether it's wet or not. 6 of 10 Your sunscreen is gone, and your T-shirt is a bust. Do you really need to wear sunscreen if you don't burn easily? No. Darker skin, or even a base tan, provides great protection. Yes. UV rays are risky for all skin tones, even if you don't feel a sunburn. No. UV rays only damage your skin if you actually burn. Yes. But you only need a very low S.P.F., since the risk is minimal. 7 of 10 Thankfully, your friend offers you some spray sunscreen. What is the right way to apply it? Spray a light mist close to your skin and let it air dry. Spray until your skin glistens and then rub it in thoroughly. Spray it onto your face with your eyes closed. Spray it into the air and walk through the cloud. 8 of 10 Before a swim, you apply sunscreen labeled 'water-resistant (40 minutes).' What does this actually mean? It protects you for up to 40 minutes in water, but you should still reapply if you towel off. You get more protection when swimming and sweating, but look at the S.P.F. rating to determine when to reapply. Nothing. Water-resistant sunscreens don't really work. It's a good sunscreen if you're going swimming, but it's not for everyday use. 9 of 10 You pause in front of a mirror after a long day at the beach. Which of these are signs of sun damage? Tan. Freckles. Wrinkles. All of the above. 10 of 10 You finally decide to start wearing sunscreen every day. Can you rely on moisturizer or foundation labeled S.P.F. 30? No. You still need a dedicated sunscreen. Yes. S.P.F. is S.P.F. No. You need moisturizer or makeup with higher S.P.F. Yes. As long as you reapply every two hours.

How certain medications increase sun sensitivity
One Small Thing newsletter: A daily tip to promote wellbeing Hello, everyone! Did you know that a side effect of some medications is sensitivity to the sun or heat? I didn't, until recently. Let's dive in. Be aware of summer-related drug side effects The summer months mean more time out in the sun, but if you're on certain medications, take note: Some anxiety and depression drugs can cause excessive sweating, while other common drugs — like antibiotics, antihistamines and even oral birth control — cause sun sensitivity. These side effects could lead to dehydration or make you more prone to sunburn or a rash. Here's a fuller list of meds to look out for. If you're on these drugs but need to spend time outdoors, make sure to have water (or even electrolyte packets) on hand, wear sun-protective clothing and apply sunscreen every two hours. Don't forget the back of your ears and hands, and top of your feet, which are commonly forgotten. [USA Today/Yahoo Life] One small thing to buy Do you have any hacks for protecting yourself from the sun? Let me know.

Millions Told To Avoid Drive-Thru Lanes
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. Millions of drivers have been urged to steer clear of drive-thru lanes in a bid to improve air quality amid a string of pollution warnings across a swathe of the US. Poor air across Minnesota and Texas prompted forecasters at the National Weather Service (NWS) to issue a string of alerts on Tuesday. They suggested a number of tips that drivers and residents can follow to help ease the situation—and warned that the health of vulnerable groups, such as people with asthma or heart problems, could be at risk. Why It Matters A 2020 study from researchers at the University of Minnesota researchers revealed that pollution leads to 100,000 deaths each year in the U.S. Around half of all air pollution-related deaths are from fine particulate matter, which arise from burning fossil fuels, while the remaining fatalities are largely caused from the animal agriculture industry, dust from construction and roads, and burning wood for heating and cooking. Stock image illustrating emissions from a car's exhaust pipe. Stock image illustrating emissions from a car's exhaust To Know Minnesota's poor air quality has been exacerbated by wildfire smoke, the NWS said. Parts of the state have been beset by blazes in recent months, with one wildfire in May consuming more than 35,000 acres of land, although the current problems are being caused by smoke drifting down from Canadian fires. The smoke, combined with current weather conditions, has led to poor air quality in some areas. In Texas, which is currently also subject to a number of heat warnings, it is the ozone which is causing problems for air quality. Ozone is a gas that occurs both above the Earth and at ground level. The layer in the upper atmosphere protects the planet from the Sun's radiation, but ozone that forms at ground level—caused by a chemical reaction in the sunlight between pollutants such as car exhaust fumes and power plant emissions—is harmful. It is hoped that motorists will leave their vehicles at home, avoid idling their engines or using drive-thru lanes, and instead use public transport or car shares to lessen the impact on the environment. Minnesota Warnings "The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has issued an Air Quality Alert for fine particles pollution," the NWS said. "The Air Quality Index (AQI) is expected to reach the Red or Unhealthy category." North central, northwest, northeast, and east central Minnesota are all affected by the warning, which will remain in place from 6 a.m. CDT Tuesday until 11 p.m. CDT Wednesday. The general public may suffer some adverse effects from the poor quality air, while "sensitive groups, such as people with lung disease (including asthma), heart disease, and children and older adults, may experience health effects," the NWS added. "The general public should limit prolonged or heavy exertion. Reduce or eliminate activities that contribute to air pollution, such as outdoor burning, and use of residential wood burning devices. Reduce vehicle trips and vehicle idling as much as possible. Keep windows closed overnight to prevent smoke from getting indoors." Texas Warnings The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has issued an "Ozone Action Day" (OAD) for the areas of Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Galveston, and Brazoria, the NWS said. The OAD alert "informs the public when conditions are forecast to be favorable for high ozone levels," according to the TCEQ website. "Atmospheric conditions are expected to be favorable for producing high levels of ozone air pollution…[on]Tuesday," the NWS said. "You can help prevent ozone pollution by sharing a ride, walking, riding a bicycle, taking your lunch to work, avoiding drive-through lanes, conserving energy, and keeping your vehicle properly tuned." What People Are Saying The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says: "Smoke is made up of a complex mixture of gases and fine particles produced when wood and other organic materials burn. The biggest health threat from smoke is from fine particles. These microscopic particles can get into your eyes and respiratory system—whether you are outdoors or indoors, where they can cause health problems…[and] also aggravate chronic heart and lung diseases—and are even linked to premature deaths in people with these conditions." Addressing the problem of ozone, the EPA says: "Ozone in the air we breathe can harm our health, especially on hot sunny days when ozone can reach unhealthy levels. People at greatest risk of harm from breathing air containing ozone include people with asthma." What Happens Next Residents of Minnesota and Texas should check their local forecasts for the most-up-to-date information and follow the advice issued by authorities relating to air quality warnings.
