A salmonella outbreak linked to a recall of approximately 1.7 million brown organic and cage-free eggs from August Egg Company has sickened at least 79 people across seven states, with 21 requiring hospitalization, according to the CDC. The recall, due to potential salmonella contamination, affects states including Arizona, California, Illinois, and Indiana, and consumers are advised to discard the eggs or return them to retailers. This incident is part of a series of recent salmonella-related outbreaks involving various foods, including tomatoes and cucumbers.
