Salmonella outbreak linked to eggs sickens 95 people, CDC says

Health officials are investigating a salmonella outbreak linked to eggs from California-based Country Eggs LLC, which has sickened 95 people across 14 states, including 73 cases in California. Eighteen people have been hospitalized, with no deaths reported. The recalled eggs, sold under multiple brand names and packed for food service, were distributed from June 16 to July 9. Salmonella infection causes diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, and can be more severe in young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems, NBC News has reported. The CDC notes the true number of cases is likely higher due to underreporting.
