Overview

  • California’s public health department reports 63 illnesses and 13 hospitalizations through Dec. 5, with no deaths connected to the outbreak.
  • Contaminated eggs were sold at seven sites in Sacramento and Davis, including Davis Food Co-Op, Sacramento Food Co-Op, Taylor’s Market and UC Davis dining locations.
  • The recall covers 12-count cartons and 30-count trays bearing code 2136 with sell-by dates on or before Dec. 22 or Julian date 328 or earlier.
  • Vega Farms says about 1,500 dozen eggs were affected and points to processing equipment as the likely source, noting the lots were removed from sale and that this is its first such recall in 40 years.
  • Authorities urge consumers to discard matching products and monitor for gastrointestinal symptoms within 72 hours, warning that washing or cooking may not eliminate Salmonella.
