Urgent Egg Recall: 1.7 Million Cartons Affected by Salmonella Outbreak

Millions of Eggs Recalled Amidst Salmonella Outbreak In a concerning development, a major egg recall has been issued, affecting an estimated 1.7 million eggs across nine states. The recall, initiated by the CDC and FDA, follows a multi-state salmonella outbreak linked to a California-based egg company, August Egg Company. At least 79 people have fallen ill, with 21 requiring hospitalization. Thankfully, no deaths have been reported. "Yesterday, the CDC and FDA sounded the alarm," explains DoctorSood, M.D., a board-certified physician who shared this information in a recent video. "The outbreak has sickened dozens of people and led to a voluntary recall of nearly 1.7 million cartons of eggs." Consumers are urged to check their refrigerators for eggs with specific plan codes (P 6562 or CA 5330) and sell-by dates ranging from March 4th to June 19th, 2025. Major grocery chains, including Walmart and Safeway, are implicated in the distribution of the affected eggs. Typical symptoms of salmonella include fever, cramps, and diarrhea, often appearing within six hours to six days after consumption. The swift response by health authorities and the widespread dissemination of information through social media platforms like TikTok highlight the importance of quick action in preventing further illness. The recall serves as a reminder of the crucial role of food safety in protecting public health.
