Multistate Salmonella Outbreak Prompts Egg Recalls and Warnings

A salmonella outbreak linked to August Egg Company in California has sickened at least 79 people across nine states, leading to a voluntary recall of 1.7 million dozen eggs sold under various brands. The eggs, distributed in California, Nevada, and other states, are identified by plant codes P-6562 or CA5330, and consumers are advised to discard or return them. The outbreak has resulted in hospitalizations and is likely underreported, with symptoms including diarrhea, fever, and cramps.
