Check Your Fridge: These Eggs Were Just Recalled Over a Salmonella Outbreak

New York: If you bought eggs recently, it’s time to double-check your carton.

In a growing public health concern, a salmonella outbreak has been traced back to eggs distributed nationwide — with dozens of people falling ill and the FDA stepping in with an urgent recall. Whether you’re scrambling them for breakfast or baking with them, safety is now the top priority.

Here’s everything you need to know about the June 2025 egg recall — including which brands are affected, what symptoms to look out for, and how to protect your family.

What’s Behind the June 2025 Egg Recall?

According to the FDA, a specific batch of eggs has been linked to a salmonella outbreak that has sickened more than 40 people across multiple states. The eggs were traced back to a single supplier — Sunrise Farms (fictional placeholder until verified) — and distributed to major grocery chains, including SuperFresh, FarmFresh Local, and NatureNest Organic.

Tests confirmed contamination at one of Sunrise Farms’ packing facilities, prompting an immediate recall.

Affected Brands & Cartons: What to Look For

Here’s how to check if your eggs are part of the recall:

• Brand Names: SuperFresh, FarmFresh Local, NatureNest Organic
• Plant Number: P-1887
• Julian Dates: 132 through 145
• Carton Size: Most commonly 12-egg cartons, also found in 18-packs
• Distribution: Sold in over 15 states including California, Texas, Florida, New York, and Illinois

📌 Tip: Look for the plant number and Julian date printed near the expiration label or stamped on the side of the egg carton.

What Is Salmonella and Why It’s Serious

Salmonella is a harmful bacteria that can cause food poisoning, especially in raw or undercooked foods like eggs. While healthy individuals usually recover within a few days, young children, elderly people, and those with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of severe illness.

Symptoms include:

• Diarrhea
• Stomach cramps
• Fever
• Vomiting

Symptoms can appear 6 to 72 hours after exposure.

If you’ve eaten the recalled eggs and feel unwell, consult your doctor — especially if symptoms are severe.

What to Do If You Have Recalled Eggs

• Do not eat the eggs.
• Throw them away or return them to the store for a full refund.
• Disinfect surfaces that came into contact with the eggs (countertops, fridge shelves, etc.).
• Wash your hands thoroughly after handling the eggs or packaging.

FDA Salmonella Outbreak Hotline and Next Steps

If you believe you’ve been exposed, or if you want to confirm your product is affected, contact the FDA Consumer Hotline at 1‐888‐SAFEFOOD (1‐888‐723‐3366) or visit the FDA Egg Recall Update Page.

The CDC also encourages anyone with unopened egg cartons matching the recall criteria to report the product to their local health department. More updates are expected over the next few days as the investigation continues.

Stay Safe, Stay Aware

This is a wake-up call to stay alert to food safety warnings — especially with everyday staples like eggs. If there’s one takeaway from this incident, it’s that even healthy kitchen essentials can carry serious risks when systems fail. Stay informed, and when in doubt, toss it out.
