Salmonella outbreak tied to recalled eggs has sickened 95 people since
January
[August 29, 2025]
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 cartons
contain the code CA 7695 and sell-by dates of July 1 through Sept. 16.
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.

 The eggs were sold to grocery stores
and food service distributors. Consumers should check their
refrigerators for recalled eggs and throw them away or return them
to stores for a refund.
Symptoms of salmonella poisoning include diarrhea, fever, severe
vomiting, dehydration and stomach cramps. Most people who get sick
recover within a week. Infections can be severe in young children,
older adults and people with weakened immune systems, who may
require hospitalization.
