A significant salmonella outbreak has prompted the FDA to raise the urgency of a recall by August Egg Company, affecting 1.7 million brown organic and cage-free eggs. These products, distributed to grocery stores primarily in Western and Midwestern states, have led to at least 79 illnesses and 21 hospitalizations. The CDC has recommended that consumers either discard the recalled eggs or return them. This incident underscores ongoing issues with salmonella contamination in food products, raising concerns over food safety protocols within the egg industry.
The August Egg Company recalled about 1.7 million eggs potentially contaminated with salmonella, affecting multiple states and resulting in several hospitalizations.
The CDC advises consumers to discard the recalled eggs and disinfect surfaces, as salmonella can cause severe illness, especially in vulnerable populations.
