Where have people gotten sick from eating contaminated eggs?

What is the risk of salmonella?
Salmonella can cause serious illness—especially in:
- Children under 5.
- Older adults.
- People with weakened immune systems.
Common symptoms include:
- Diarrhea (sometimes bloody).
- Fever over 102°F.
- headaches.
- Stomach cramps.
- Dehydration (dry mouth, dizziness, fewer wet diapers).
Symptoms usually appear 12 to 72 hours after exposure and last 4 to 7 days.
Call your doctor or pediatrician right away if you notice any of these signs in your child or yourself.
What should you do if you have the recalled eggs?
- Do not eat the eggs.
If you spot the recalled codes (P-6562 or CA-5330) or are unsure of origin, throw them out or return them for a refund. - Sanitize thoroughly.
Wash any surfaces, containers, utensils, or dishes that may have come into contact with the eggs using hot, soapy water or a dishwasher. - Wash hands before and after handling eggs.
Even small traces of contamination can spread in your kitchen if not cleaned properly.
A final word to fellow parents
Meal prep is already stressful. Discovering a recall on something as basic as eggs? It’s enough to make any parent feel overwhelmed.
But this isn’t about blame—it’s about staying informed and acting quickly. The good news? Most people recover fully from salmonella, and awareness is your best defense.
If you’ve served eggs recently and your child seems fine, take a deep breath. But if you do notice symptoms—or can’t confirm your eggs are safe—it’s OK to toss them. Your peace of mind matters too.
