Remember those salmonella outbreaks tied to cucumbers last year? Well, they’re happening again—and shockingly, one of the same growers is involved. Hundreds of people have gotten sick, and investigators are pointing to contaminated irrigation water as the likely culprit. It’s a frustrating case of déjà vu for food safety watchdogs.

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.

A salmonella outbreak connected to recalled eggs has sickened dozens of people across seven states, mostly in the West and Midwest, according to federal health officials. The exact source is still under investigation, but it’s a reminder of how quickly foodborne illnesses can spread.

Health officials are recalling over 1.7 million eggs across multiple states due to potential salmonella contamination. The CDC and FDA are investigating the outbreak, which has already sickened people in several regions. If you've recently bought eggs, check your carton—this recall is serious and could affect major grocery chains.
