A salmonella outbreak tied to eggs from California’s August Egg Company has sickened at least 79 people, according to U.S. health officials. The contaminated eggs—sold as organic and cage-free brown eggs—have been recalled, and the CDC is urging people to throw them out immediately.
Editor’s Note: Food recalls like this are a big deal because they directly impact public health—salmonella can cause serious illness, especially in vulnerable groups. It’s also a reminder that even products marketed as "healthier" (like organic or cage-free eggs) aren’t immune to contamination. If you’ve got these eggs in your fridge, toss ’em—better safe than sorry.
