Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Recalled Eggs Affects 95 People Across 14 States

A salmonella outbreak associated with cage-free eggs has resulted in 95 reported illnesses across 14 states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Eighteen individuals have been hospitalized; no fatalities have been reported.

The affected eggs, produced by Country Eggs LLC of Lucerne Valley, California, were distributed under the brand names Nagatoshi Produce, Misuho, and Nijiya Markets. Consumers can identify the recalled products by the code "CA 7695" and sell-by dates ranging from July 1 to September 16, 2025. These eggs were sold in California and Nevada between June 16 and July 9.

The majority of cases have been reported in California, with additional cases in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Washington state. The CDC notes that the actual number of affected individuals may be higher, as many recover without medical care and are not tested for salmonella.

Country Eggs LLC has suspended production, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is investigating the source of the contamination. Consumers are advised to check their refrigerators for the recalled eggs and either return them to the place of purchase or dispose of them. Surfaces that may have come into contact with the eggs should be cleaned with hot, soapy water.

Salmonella infection symptoms typically appear six hours to six days after exposure and include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps. Most individuals recover without treatment within four to seven days. However, severe cases can occur, especially in young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.
