Take a look at your egg cartons. If you’ve got large brown cage free “sunshine/omega-3 golden” yolk eggs sourced from Country Eggs, LLC, of Lucerne Valley, California, be aware: They’re being recalled because they may be infected with Salmonella.
The eggs were sold under several brand names, including Nagatoshi Produce, Misuho, Nijiya Markets and Country Eggs. The sides of the individual fiber or plastic cartons or packages containing the recalled eggs feature code “No. CA-7695” and sell-by dates ranging from 7/1/25 to 9/18/25.
In an initial recall announcement, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said the eggs were delivered to grocery retailers and, in bulk, to foodservice distributors in California and Nevada from June 16 through July 9.
In an update dated August 28, however, the FDA said it was collaborating with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as state and local authorities, to investigate an outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis infections linked to the eggs across multiple states.
95 people have been infected with the strain of Salmonella implicated in the outbreak across 14 states so far, the FDA said, citing epidemiological information collected by the CDC. States in which cases have been reported are Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Minnesota, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania and Washington. 18 people have been hospitalized in the outbreak, but so far, fortunately, no one has died.
“As part of this investigation, FDA conducted traceback based on where ill people reported shopping or eating eggs/egg-containing dishes during the timeframe of interest, and Country Eggs, LLC, was identified as a common supplier,” the FDA says.
Symptoms of Salmonella — which may include diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps — usually hit about 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food and last for between four and seven days. Young children, elderly people and those with weakened immune systems are at higher risk for severe infection.
The FDA warns that the recalled eggs “could potentially be in peoples’ homes” and is urging the public to check their refrigerators. Anyone who finds that they have the recalled eggs “should not eat, sell or serve” them and should throw them away. If you aren’t sure if the eggs are among those being recalled – if you have stored them without the packaging, for instance – you are also instructed to toss them. You should also “carefully clean and sanitize any surfaces or containers that the recalled eggs touched,” the agency says.
And if you develop symptoms of a Salmonella infection after eating eggs, the FDA warns, contact your healthcare provider right away.
