Following recalls of cucumbers and tomatoes, eggs have now been added to the list due to concerns of potential Salmonella infection. Similar to the other contamination recalls, this revocation encompasses a large amount of eggs, spanning many states and distributors.
Below, we've broken down everything you need to know about the August Egg Company recall.
What products have been recalled?
On June 6, 2025, August Egg Company issued a voluntary recall of 1,700,000 dozen brown eggs in collaboration with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This wide-ranging recall encompasses 29 different egg products from at least nine different distributors, including Walmart, Save Mart, FoodMaxx, Lucky, Smart & Final, Safeway, Raleys, Food 4 Less and Ralphs.
While each recalled product has a different Universal Product Code (UPC), the carton will also contain one of two plant codes: P-6562 or CA-5330 — which can be used to help identify a recalled batch.

- Nebraska
- New Mexico
- Nevada
- Washington
- Wyoming
What is the exact reason for the recall?
The recall stems from a potential Salmonella contamination at August Egg Company's California plant.
“It is important to know that when our processing plant identified this concern, we immediately began diverting all eggs from the plant to an egg-breaking facility, which pasteurizes the eggs and kills any pathogens," said the August Egg Company in a statement.
Salmonella is a bacterial disease that affects the intestinal tract, often causing diarrhea, fever, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, and chills. In severe cases, Salmonella can also lead to death.
The infection is most commonly spread through contaminated food or water. In the case of eggs, infected chickens may pass on Salmonella before the shell of their egg is formed, meaning the shell is not able to protect against the disease.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there has been 79 cases of illnesses, 21 of which resulted in hospitalization.
What should I do if I have the recalled products?
To confirm whether or not you have one of the recalled products, refer to our list above that names the 29 egg items being revoked. If you have one of the items on the list, check the plant number and UPC, located on the side of the carton. The recalled eggs will have a plant number of P-6562 or CA-5330. UPC codes can be referenced using the above list.
You'll also want to pay attention to the sell-by date. Recalled eggs distributed at Walmart will have a sell-by date between March 4, 2025, and June 19, 2025. Eggs from the eight other named distributors will have a sell-by date between March 4, 2025, and June 4, 2025.
After confirming the noted information, August Egg Company is advising customers to return the eggs to their place of purchase for a full refund. For additional questions, the brand suggests reaching out to their Customer Service line at 1-800-710-2554.
