Egg Recall As Salmonella Outbreak Leaves 79 Sick, 21 Hospitalized
On June 6, the August Egg Company of Hilmar, CA, initiated a voluntary recall of around 1.7 million ... More of its eggs, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. (Photo: Getty) This news shouldn't leave you egg-static in any way, In fact, you may want to move on it, and check your eggs as soon as possible. On June 6, the August Egg Company of Hilmar, CA, initiated a voluntary recall of around 1.7 million of its eggs, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. And there's one shell of a reason for the egg recall: a Salmonella outbreak that's been linked to, you guessed it, eggs. So far, the outbreak has already left 79 people sick and 21 hospitalized across seven different states, based on a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report. The recall encompasses the following brands of brown organic or brown cage-free eggs from the August Egg Company: As you can see the loose eggs don't have associated UPCs. To determine whether your eggs are affected by the recall, check your package, meaning the fiber or plastic cartons in which the eggs were packaged. Be on the lookout for a plant code number of either P-6562 or CA5330 along with Julian Dates between 32 to 126. Such eggs went on to be sold at retail locations like Save Mart, FoodMaxx, Lucky, Smart & Final, Safeway, Raleys, Food 4 Less Ralphs from February 3, 2025, through May 15, 2025. The also went to Walmart locations in California, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nebraska, Indiana and Illinois from February 3, 2025, through May 6, 2025. Sell by dates can range from March 4, 2025, to June 19, 2025. Any of the aforementioned lots of eggs could have none, some or lots of Salmonella bacteria in them. The CDC report didn't include that many details about when this outbreak was first suspected, how the investigation proceeded or how specifically the contamination may have occurred. The first two cases of outbreak were reported on February 24. California has had by far the most reported cases with 63. Washington and Nevada are currently tied for second with four apiece, followed by Arizona with three. Nebraska and New Jersey each have had a pair of reported cases, and Kentucky has had one. This is a Salmonella here we go again situation. There is currently another Salmonella outbreak that's been linked to cucumbers. That outbreak has already left 45 people sick and 16 hospitalized across 18 states. That's prompted a recall of Whole fresh cucumbers that were grown by Bedner Growers Inc. and distributed by Fresh Start Produce Sales Inc. from April 29 through May 19. So you should be checking your cucumbers as well. That's because you don't want Salmonellosis, which is an infection caused by Salmonella going down your pie hole, as I have written previously in Forbes. If someone were to ask, 'Would you want some Salmonella with your eggs,' your answer should be, 'I would not like them here or there, I would not like them anywhere." Once enough Salmonella gets into your gastrointestinal tract, it can typically lead to diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps after about six hours to six days. This can make you say 'bloody diarrhea' for two reasons. One is that it can be a lot worse diarrhea than you've ever since. And two, the diarrhea can have actual blood in it which can be super disconcerting. The good news is that most people will recover after four to seven days of holy bleep without requiring any treatment. The bad news, though, is that some go on to suffer even worse illness necessitating hospitalization. Salmonellosis can become life-threatening, especially if you have a weaker immune systems such as when you are a child younger than 5 years of age, adult older than 64 years of age or someone with chronic medical conditions or taking immunosuppressive medications. All of this should egg you on to check your eggs. If you do have eggs any encompassed by the egg recall, return or discard them immediately. And make sure that you thoroughly clean and disinfect anything that may have touched the eggs whether its other food, your kitchen counter, your utensils or your life-sized Justin Bieber doll. This will save you a lot of trouble in the end, so to speak.
