Eggs Recalled After Salmonella Outbreak Sickens 95 People

When you’re expecting, even everyday food choices take on new importance. Your immune system’s working a little differently right now, which can make you more vulnerable, so knowing what’s been pulled from shelves (and why) helps keep you and baby safe.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently issued a warning after Country Eggs, LLC of Lucerne Valley, CA, recalled its Large Brown Cage Free Sunshine Yolk eggs due to potential salmonella contamination. The recalled products were distributed in California and Nevada to grocery stores and larger food distributors.

Recalled eggs were packed in individual retail cartons with the following brand names and sell-by dates:

• Nagatoshi Produce, Sell by dates: July 1, 2025, through September 18, 2025
• Misuho, Sell by dates: July 1, 2025, through September 18, 2025
• Nijiya Markets, Sell by dates: July 1, 2025, through September 18, 2025
• Country Eggs Large Brown Sunshine Yolks, Sell by dates: July 1, 2025, through September 18, 2025

So far, 95 people across 14 states have reported illnesses in connection with the egg recall. Of those people, 18 have been hospitalized. Pregnant people are more likely to experience severe illness from salmonella due to weakened immune systems. According to the National Institutes of Health, while rare, salmonella can also increase the chance of complications during pregnancy, depending on the severity of the infection. In some cases, it can increase the chance of preterm delivery and restrict baby’s growth.

Symptoms of salmonella usually appear within six hours to six days and can include diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps. In rare cases, the bacteria can spread to urine, blood, bones, joints or the nervous system, leading to more serious illness.

If you have recalled eggs in your home or business, the CDC urges you to throw them away or return them to the store. Be sure to clean any surfaces that may have come in contact with the eggs to prevent cross-contamination.
