The FDA just announced a nationwide egg recall, and if eggs are a staple in your fridge — it’s time to pay attention!
🛑 FDA Recalls Eggs Linked to Salmonella Outbreak in California, Arizona, and More
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued an urgent recall affecting over 20 million eggs sold under several popular grocery brands. The reason? A potential salmonella outbreak that has already left at least 79 people sick and over 20 hospitalized across multiple states including California, Arizona, Colorado, and Nevada.

According to officials, the outbreak has been linked to eggs distributed by California-based producer August Farms. These eggs have been pulled from store shelves nationwide as the FDA continues its investigation.
🛒 Sold at Major Stores — Here Are the Brands and Stores Affected

🔍 How to Identify Recalled Egg Cartons
Look for plant codes “P-559” or “CA-146” and Julian dates ranging from 032 to 126 — which means they were packaged between February and May 2025.
