The CDC has issued a salmonella outbreak alert linked to recalled eggs from August Egg Co., affecting 79 individuals across nine states, with 21 hospitalizations reported. The Hilmar, California-based company recalled 1.7 million dozen brown cage-free and organic eggs sold in California and Nevada, and some were distributed to various retail chains including Safeway and Walmart. Consumers are advised to avoid these eggs, and the company is taking corrective actions to prevent future contamination after identifying potential risks.
According to an included statement by August Egg Co., it began diverting all eggs to an egg-breaking facility immediately upon identifying possible salmonella contamination.
The CDC advises consumers to avoid eating eggs that were named in the recall and to wash all surfaces that had contact with the eggs.
