Amid a national salmonella outbreak linked to imported eggs, the FSA warns vulnerable groups—including under-fives, pregnant women, and those over 65 or with health conditions—not to eat runny or undercooked eggs or egg-containing dishes in eateries; well-cooked eggs are safe and British eggs are not linked to this outbreak, which has caused over 200 cases and one death.
A San Diego County salmonella outbreak tied to raw eggs has grown to 21 cases with 7 hospitalizations, linked to local egg supplier Happy Hens and mayonnaise made with raw eggs at Ramona Family Naturals Market. The market stopped using raw eggs, and health officials are alerting retailers about egg handling, storage, grading, and labeling. The outbreak is not connected to the Midwest shell-egg outbreak. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, with higher risk for children under 5, adults over 65, and the immunocompromised; guidance emphasizes discarding suspicious eggs, cooking eggs thoroughly, and washing hands and surfaces. People with symptoms should contact their healthcare provider and report illnesses to the county health department.

A study published in Nutrients analyzed 890 adults over 55 from the Rancho Bernardo cohort and found women who ate eggs more than five times a week showed less decline in fluency and executive function over time, suggesting egg-borne nutrients like choline, vitamin B12, lutein and high-quality protein may support brain health. While the association is not proof of causation, experts note eggs are a brain-friendly, nutrient-dense option and can fit into a weekly diet (up to about seven eggs).
A hepatologist notes that eggs sit in a gray area for liver health: they provide satiating protein and choline that can support the liver, but their cholesterol content means effects vary with overall diet and metabolic health. Studies on egg intake and MASLD/NAFLD conflict—some show higher risk with limited eggs, others show no association and suggest choline may be protective. For healthy individuals, 1–2 eggs daily can fit in a balanced diet, but those with high cholesterol may want to eat them less often. Emphasize liver-friendly breakfasts with whole foods (Greek yogurt or plant proteins, fiber-rich toast with avocado) and beverages like coffee/tea, while avoiding sugar-heavy pastries and fruit juice and limiting processed meats.

The FDA elevated a recall of nearly 1.6 million dozen eggs to Class I, its highest-risk warning, as an ongoing salmonella outbreak sickens about 98 people in 17 states (with 26 hospitalizations) and has prompted no deaths to date. The eggs, produced in Texas by Midwest Poultry Services, were distributed across the South and Southwest (including Kroger and Brookshire Grocery outlets). Best-by/sell-by dates extend through August 17, and consumers are advised not to eat the recalled eggs and to return them to the place of purchase for a refund.

Health officials are facing multiple, concurrent salmonella outbreaks in the U.S. linked to eggs from Texas, jalapeño peppers from Mexico, backyard poultry, and pet veiled chameleons, sickening hundreds across dozens of states and causing one death; guidance stresses clean, separate, cook and chill to prevent infection, while antibiotics are usually reserved for severe cases and doctors distinguish salmonella from cyclospora in diagnosis.
Trump claimed grocery costs are ‘way down,’ but HuffPost’s fact-check finds the drop is limited to eggs; overall grocery prices are still rising.

For most healthy adults, one egg per day is safe, and two eggs can fit into a heart-healthy diet if the overall diet is low in saturated fat; the real impact on cholesterol depends on individual factors such as LDL levels, diabetes, and existing heart disease, so personalized medical guidance is advised for higher-risk individuals.
