On June 6, 2025, August Egg Company recalled eggs due to Salmonella. The recalled eggs were organic eggs supplied by August Egg Company (Hilmar, California). The CDC, public health and regulatory officials in several states, and the U.S. FDA collected data to investigate a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis infections. Currently, the recalled eggs are no longer available for sale and are outside their shelf life. The outbreak caused 134 infections, 38 hospitalizations, and one death. Illnesses were confirmed in 10 states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, New Jersey, Nevada, Utah, and Washington. WGS showed that Salmonella from sick people's samples are closely related genetically. Suggesting that people in this outbreak got sick from the same food. The FDA inspected cage-free laying houses used by August Egg Company and collected samples for testing. Three samples tested positive for Salmonella. WGS showed that the Salmonella in the samples matched Salmonella from sick people. The FDA conducted a traceback investigation based on where the ill people reported shopping or eating during the timeframe of interest. August Egg Company was identified as a common supplier of eggs. @ https://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/outbreaks/eggs-06-25/investigation.html
