Salmonella illnesses have been identified in 14 states so far.
The CDC and FDA issued a recall notice on Thursday, warning consumers about brown eggs that have been linked to a salmonella outbreak in 14 states. The eggs, sourced from Country Eggs of Lucerne Valley, California, have sickened at least 95 people and hospitalized 18. No deaths have been reported.
The cage-free eggs have been sold under brand names that include Nagatoshi Produce, Misuho, Nijiya Markets, and Country Eggs, according to a notice posted by the CDC.
The eggs were also sold using the description “sunshine/omega-3 golden” yolk (1/15 Dozen fresh eggs bulk) to food service retailers with the same codes and sell-by dates listed above, according to the FDA. Consumers are encouraged to discard any recalled eggs.
The CDC provided a map showing the 14 states where they’ve identified illnesses from the salmonella outbreak.

The CDC notes that the actual number of people sickened by this outbreak is likely much higher than the number the agency is reporting because most people who get sick don’t require medical care and are never tested for salmonella.
