Over 1.7 Million Eggs Recalled Due to Salmonella

More than 1.7 million brown eggs sold across the U.S. have been recalled following a Salmonella outbreak, according to a recent announcement from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The potentially contaminated eggs were distributed across 26 states and sold through major grocery retailers including Walmart, Safeway, Smart & Final, and others.

The outbreak has already caused 79 reported illnesses, including 21 hospitalizations, and investigations are still ongoing.

Officials are urging consumers to check their egg cartons immediately and dispose of or return any affected products for a refund.

The FDA’s recall specifically applies to brown eggs sold between February 3 and May 15, 2025.

These eggs can be identified by plant codes “P-6562” or “CA5330”, along with Julian dates between 032 and 126 printed on the cartons.

Walmart eggs carry broader sell-by dates—from March 4 to June 19—and were sold in dozens of states including California, Texas, Ohio, Arizona, and Washington.

Other affected stores like Raley’s, Ralphs, Save Mart, and FoodMaxx carried recalled products with sell-by dates ranging from March 5 to June 4.

How Dangerous Is It?

Salmonella infection can cause symptoms such as diarrhea, nausea, stomach cramps, fever, and vomiting. For healthy individuals, symptoms often resolve within a week, but the illness can be significantly more severe in young children, the elderly, or people with weakened immune systems.

The most recent illness linked to this outbreak was reported on May 17. The CDC and FDA emphasize that the investigation is ongoing and additional recalls may follow as more data emerges.

If you or someone in your household begins to experience symptoms consistent with Salmonella infection—particularly after consuming eggs—it’s important to consult a medical professional immediately.

Consumers are advised to check their egg cartons for the specific plant codes and sell-by dates. Any product matching the recall should be discarded or returned to the point of purchase for a full refund.

Do not attempt to consume or cook the eggs, even at high temperatures.
