August Egg Company Brown Cage Free Egg Salmonella Lawsuit Lawyers

Helping Victims Nationwide Pursue Justice After Being Sickened by Contaminated Eggs Linked to the August Egg Company Salmonella Outbreak

A multistate outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis linked to brown cage free and certified organic eggs distributed by the August Egg Company has sickened at least 79 people across seven states. The outbreak has resulted in 21 hospitalizations, and the number may grow as the FDA continues its investigation. Eggs were distributed to retailers including Walmart, Safeway, Save Mart, and others across states such as California, Nevada, Arizona, Washington, and Illinois.

These recalled eggs were sold under several recognizable brand names, including O Organics, First Street, Simple Truth, Nulaid, Clover, Marketside, and Sunnyside. Consumers unknowingly brought these contaminated products into their homes, only to suffer from severe foodborne illness symptoms such as fever, abdominal cramps, and debilitating diarrhea.

Our national civil litigation law firm, Parker Waichman LLP, is now reviewing claims for individuals harmed by these recalled eggs. If you or a loved one experienced Salmonella symptoms after consuming any of these products, you may have grounds to pursue financial compensation.

What Consumers Need to Know About the Recalled Eggs

The brown cage free and certified organic eggs were recalled due to contamination with Salmonella bacteria—a dangerous foodborne pathogen that can cause serious illness and even death in high-risk individuals. The products were supplied by the August Egg Company of Hilmar, California.

The affected egg cartons have Julian dates between “32” and “126” and were marked with plant codes “P-6562” or “CA-5330.” These contaminated products were sold between February 3, 2025, and May 15, 2025, and had sell-by dates from March 4, 2025, through June 19, 2025.

Egg Brands Involved in the Recall Include:

• O Organics
• Simple Truth
• Sunnyside
• Marketside
• Raleys
• Nulaid
• Sun Harvest
• Clover
• First Street

Consumers may have bought these eggs in cartons or loose flats, packaged in either fiber or plastic containers. These eggs were widely distributed, making this recall a matter of national concern.

Who Is at Risk from Salmonella?

Salmonella infection can cause serious and sometimes life-threatening illness, particularly for:

• Children under 5
• Older adults
• Pregnant individuals
• People with weakened immune systems

Even healthy individuals can experience severe symptoms, including:

• High fever
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea (sometimes bloody)
• Intense abdominal cramps
• Fatigue lasting up to a week or more

Many victims require hospitalization due to dehydration or the severity of the infection. In the current outbreak, 21 individuals have been hospitalized, and health officials fear more cases may emerge.

How the Outbreak Was Traced Back to August Egg Company

After multiple consumers were hospitalized with Salmonella, the FDA and CDC launched an investigation in collaboration with state and local health authorities. Through traceback efforts, officials discovered that nearly all the infected individuals had eaten eggs or egg-based dishes prior to becoming ill.

Environmental samples taken from the August Egg Company’s processing facility in Hilmar, California tested positive for the same strain of Salmonella Enteritidis found in sickened patients. These findings provided genetic confirmation that August Egg Company’s eggs were the common source of the outbreak.

In May 2025, August Egg Company ceased standard egg distribution and began sending all remaining stock to an egg-breaking facility that pasteurizes eggs to reduce contamination risks. However, by then, thousands of contaminated eggs had already entered households, restaurants, and retailers across the country.

Legal Rights for Victims of the August Egg Company Salmonella Outbreak

If you became ill after consuming any of the recalled eggs, you may be legally entitled to compensation. Product liability laws and food safety regulations are in place to hold companies accountable when unsafe food causes harm to consumers.

Victims may be able to pursue compensation for:

• Medical bills and hospitalization costs
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Out-of-pocket expenses
• Long-term health complications

In some cases, claims may be brought not only against the August Egg Company, but also against distributors, retailers, or restaurant chains that served the recalled eggs.

What to Do If You Think You Were Affected

If you or a family member ate eggs under the listed brand names or matching the described product codes, and then developed symptoms of Salmonella, take the following steps:

• Seek medical attention immediately. Get tested and ensure your healthcare provider documents any suspected foodborne illness.
• Preserve any remaining egg packaging or receipts. If you still have cartons with the plant codes “P-6562” or “CA-5330,” take photos or keep the packaging as evidence.
• Document your symptoms and medical treatment. Keep a timeline of when you consumed the eggs and when your symptoms began.
• Do not throw away important proof. Medical records, product labels, and receipts can strengthen your legal claim.
• Consult a national food poisoning lawyer. Prompt legal consultation ensures your rights are protected and evidence is preserved while the FDA investigation is ongoing.
