CDC Links Multistate Salmonella Outbreak to Recalled Country Eggs as 95 Fall Ill in 14 States

Traceback to cartons coded CA 7695 from a California producer prompted a recall with warnings to discard the eggs and sanitize surfaces.

The FDA and CDC are investigating illnesses in a multistate outbreak of salmonella enteritidis infections linked to large, brown cage-free “sunshine yolks” and “omega-3 golden yolks” eggs sourced from Country Eggs LLC of Lucerne Valley, Calif. 
A Salmonella outbreak tied to recalled eggs has sickened 95 people in 14 states, including 73 in California, officials say.

Overview

  • Country Eggs LLC recalled large brown cage‑free eggs sold as Sunshine Yolks or Omega‑3 Golden Yolks under brands including Nagatoshi Produce, Misuho and Nijiya Markets.
  • The recalled cartons carry code CA 7695 with sell‑by dates from July 1 through September 16–18, 2025, and were distributed to stores and food service in California and Nevada from June 16 to July 9.
  • At least 95 illnesses and 18 hospitalizations have been reported since January across 14 states, with 73 cases in California and no deaths confirmed.
  • FDA traceback identified Country Eggs as a common supplier linked to where sick people bought or ate eggs, and the company has suspended production while the investigation continues.
  • Whole‑genome sequencing shows closely related Salmonella Enteritidis isolates with predicted resistance to nalidixic acid and reduced susceptibility to ciprofloxacin, which may influence antibiotic choices for severe cases.
