Health officials are investigating a salmonella outbreak linked to eggs that has sickened 95 people across 14 states, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced Thursday (August 28). The outbreak has led to 18 hospitalizations, though no deaths have been reported. The illnesses began between January 7, 2025, and July 26, 2025.
The source of the outbreak is traced to large brown cage-free “sunshine/omega-3 golden” yolk eggs from Country Eggs, LLC, based in Lucerne Valley, California. The eggs were distributed under the brand names Nagatoshi Produce, Misuho, Nijiya Markets, and Country Eggs, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The affected eggs were delivered to grocery stores and food service distributors in California and Nevada between June 16 and July 9, 2025.
Country Eggs, LLC issued a recall of the affected eggs on Wednesday (August 27). Consumers are advised to check their refrigerators and dispose of any recalled eggs or return them to the store. The FDA and CDC are working with state and local partners to determine if the eggs were distributed to other states. The investigation is ongoing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
Symptoms of salmonella infection typically appear 12 to 72 hours after consuming contaminated food and can last four to seven days. They include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. Young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems are at higher risk for severe infections.
