An outbreak of Salmonella has sickened at least 95 people across at least 14 states, with illnesses beginning Jan. 7 through July 25 and 18 hospitalizations. Country Eggs LLC of Lucerne Valley, California, recalled large brown cage-free Sunshine Yolks and omega-3 Golden Yolks eggs and suspended production. Recalled cartons bear brand names Nagatoshi Produce, Mishuo and Nijiya Markets, code CA 7695 and sell-by dates July 1 through Sept. 16. An FDA investigation linked the eggs to purchases and food-service distribution. Consumers should discard or return recalled eggs for a refund. Symptoms include diarrhea, fever, severe vomiting, dehydration and stomach cramps; young children, older adults, and immunocompromised people face higher risk.
At least 95 people in more than a dozen states have been sickened since January in an outbreak of salmonella poisoning tied to recalled eggs, federal health officials said Thursday. Country Eggs LLC, of Lucerne Valley, California, has recalled large, brown cage-free sunshine yolks or omega-3 golden yolks eggs and production has been suspended. The eggs were sold in cartons bearing the brand names Nagatoshi Produce, Mishuo and Nijiya Markets.
The outbreak has sickened people in at least 14 states, with illnesses beginning between Jan. 7 and July 25, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. Eighteen of those who fell ill were hospitalized. It's possible that many more people have been sickened and that eggs were distributed to additional states, the CDC said. An investigation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration based on where ill people reported buying or consuming eggs identified Country Eggs LLC, as a common supplier, officials said.
