What Products Are Included in the Recall?
The product recall includes large brown cage-free “sunshine/omega-3 golden” yolk eggs distributed by Country Eggs, LLC between June 16 and July 9, 2025, were contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis. These eggs were sold under multiple brand names, including Nagatoshi Produce, Misuho, Nijiya Markets, and Country Eggs, primarily in California and Nevada grocery stores and food service establishments.
The recalled eggs can be identified by the carton code “No. CA-7695” and sell-by dates ranging from July 1, 2025, to September 18, 2025. The outbreak investigation shows illnesses began as early as January 7, 2025, and continued through July 26, 2025, indicating the contamination may have been ongoing for months before detection.
Understanding the Country Eggs Recall
Country Eggs announced the recall after multiple people became sick with Salmonella infections. According to the FDA, the outbreak investigation began in August 2025 when clusters of illnesses were reported across several states. Laboratory testing linked the illnesses directly to certain lots of cage-free Country Eggs, prompting a nationwide alert.
Salmonella is a serious foodborne pathogen that can cause severe gastrointestinal illness. In some cases, it leads to hospitalization and long-term complications. For children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems, Salmonella can be life-threatening.
Adverse Effects of Salmonella and Potential Costs
The health impact of Salmonella infection can range from mild stomach discomfort to life-threatening complications. While many individuals recover in about a week, others face more serious consequences such as dehydration, bloodstream infections, or reactive arthritis. In rare cases, Salmonella infections can cause lasting health conditions that alter a victim’s quality of life.
For victims, the costs extend far beyond medical treatment. Hospital stays, diagnostic testing, and prescription medications can quickly add up. Families may also face lost wages if the illness keeps them from work, childcare expenses if a parent is hospitalized, and ongoing therapy for long-term effects. In severe cases, victims may require extended rehabilitation, which places additional financial strain on households already coping with the stress of illness.
These costs can be overwhelming, especially when the illness was preventable.
Protecting Your Health After a Product Recall
If you suspect you ate contaminated eggs, monitor your health for symptoms such as:
- Fever
- Stomach cramps
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
In most cases, Salmonella symptoms begin within 6 hours to 6 days after exposure. While many people recover without treatment, some require hospitalization. Seeking medical care not only protects your health but also creates documentation if you decide to pursue legal action.
Product Recall and Legal Accountability
A product recall is more than a safety notice. It’s also an acknowledgment that a product may be defective or dangerous. Under Nevada law, companies that produce, distribute, or sell contaminated food products can be held legally accountable when those products cause harm.
For Las Vegas residents, such accountability may allow you the right to pursue compensation if you were made ill by Salmonella-contaminated eggs. Claims may include medical expenses, lost wages, and damages for pain and suffering. A Las Vegas product liability lawyer can help you navigate these claims while ensuring your rights are protected.
