More than 70 people across seven states have been sickened due to a salmonella outbreak linked to eggs recalled by a California-based egg distributor, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The Hilmar-based company recalled 1.7 million dozen brown cage-free and brown certified organic eggs distributed to retail stores in California and Nevada, including Safeway, Raley’s, Food 4 Less, Lucky, Save Mart, FoodMaxx and Ralphs.

The Centers for Disease Control (“CDC”) has issued a salmonella outbreak alert for brown eggs sold in nine states by California-based August Egg Company after 79 people across seven states were sickened after consuming the impacted eggs,
