FDA recalls eggs in nine states for salmonella

Nearly two million eggs have been recalled across nine states due to potential Salmonella contamination, posing a risk of serious illness. The recall, announced Friday by the FDA, involves 1.7 million dozen eggs from August Egg Company. The affected eggs were distributed to various grocery stores and Walmart locations, with sell-by dates ranging from March 4 to June 19. Consumers should check for plant codes P-6562 or CA5330 on cartons. Salmonella can cause severe illness, especially in vulnerable populations, prompting the company to take corrective actions.
