What You Need to Know
As of early June 2025, the CDC and FDA confirmed a multi-state Salmonella Enteritidis outbreak linked to shell eggs distributed by August Egg Company. The outbreak has resulted in nearly 80 confirmed cases across seven states, with over 20 hospitalizations.
In response, the company issued a voluntary recall of approximately 1.7 million dozen eggs — nearly 20 million individual eggs — sold under various retail brands. Affected products were identified by plant codes P-6562 or CA5330 with sell-by dates ranging into mid-June. The recall applies to both cage-free and organic brown eggs distributed nationwide.
Why This Impacts FDA-Regulated Businesses
This outbreak and recall raise immediate regulatory concerns for businesses handling egg products. If your company manufactures, packs, distributes, imports, or stores eggs in the U.S., this event has direct implications for:
Supply chain traceability and recordkeeping
Proper labeling with safe handling instructions
Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) responsibilities
Recall preparedness and response planning
Immediate Actions You Should Take
Activate your food safety plan and review your preventive control measures.
Verify your supply chain — ensure no affected products are in your distribution network.
Monitor FDA and CDC updates for any recall expansions.
Check labeling compliance for safe handling and allergen disclosures.
Train staff to handle, isolate, and report any suspect products.
