A significant salmonella outbreak, tracing back to the August Egg Company, has led to a recall of approximately 1.7 million brown organic and cage-free eggs. This recall affects grocery stores across various states, including Arizona and California, and is prompted by health concerns following reports of illness. So far, 79 individuals are infected, with 21 requiring hospitalization. Federal agencies are urging consumers to discard the recalled products and maintain sanitary practices to avoid further infections. Symptoms of salmonella include diarrhea and fever, which can be more severe for vulnerable populations.
A salmonella outbreak linked to a large egg recall has made dozens of people sick in seven states in the West and Midwest.
The August Egg Company recalled about 1.7 million brown organic and brown cage-free egg varieties distributed to grocery stores between February and May due to salmonella concerns.
At least 79 people have gotten a strain of salmonella that was linked to the eggs, and 21 people have been hospitalized according to the CDC.
The CDC advises consumers to throw away the recalled eggs or return them to the store and to wash any surfaces that contacted the eggs.
