Country Eggs Recalls Salmonella-Contaminated Eggs After Nearly 100 Sickened Across 14 States

Nearly 100 people across 14 states have fallen ill due to salmonella contamination linked to Large Brown Cage Free 'Sunshine Yolks' eggs produced by Country Eggs, LLC. The outbreak, primarily affecting California with 73 cases, has resulted in 18 hospitalizations but no reported deaths. Country Eggs recalled the eggs on August 27, 2025, with affected products sold under several brand names and specific sell-by dates between July 1 and September 16, 2025, distributed mainly in California and Nevada. Consumers are urged not to eat, sell, or serve the recalled eggs and to thoroughly clean any surfaces that may have come into contact with them. Salmonella symptoms typically include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, manifesting within 6 hours to 6 days after exposure, with vulnerable populations at higher risk for severe illness. The FDA is investigating the issue, and Country Eggs has halted production of the affected products, committing to corrective actions to prevent future contamination.
