Ramona Salmonella Outbreak Expands, Traced to Local Raw-Egg Supply

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.

FDA Elevates Egg Recall to Class I Over Salmonella Fears

FDA has upgraded an egg recall to Class I, its highest health-risk level, due to potential Salmonella contamination linked to 98 illnesses and 26 hospitalizations across 17 states. Recalled eggs bear carton codes P-1950 or 0840962. The recall comes amid other recent safety alerts (jalapeño and lettuce outbreaks). Officials say seasonal factors and distribution-center issues may contribute to contamination, with root causes still under investigation; some lawmakers also point to CDC funding cuts. Public should monitor FDA/state health sites, dispose of or return recalled products, wash produce, and remain vigilant as investigations continue.
