Salmonella Scare: 1,500+ Eggs Recalled in California
9 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Over 1,500 dozen eggs recalled due to potential Salmonella contamination.
- Affected eggs distributed in Sacramento and Davis, California areas.
- No illnesses reported yet, but consumers urged to discard affected products.
Residents in Sacramento and Davis, California, are advised to check their egg cartons following a significant recall by Veg Farms. The company, based in Dixon, California, issued a voluntary recall on December 5, 2025, for approximately 1,515 dozen eggs due to possible Salmonella contamination. The issue originated from processing equipment, not the farm's poultry.
This recall impacts 12-count cartons and 30-count flats of eggs with sell-by dates up to December 22, 2025, or Julian dates up to 328. These products, identified by handler code 2136, were supplied to both restaurants and farmers' markets in the specified California locations. Veg Farms has stated that all recalled product has been removed from affected store shelves.
While no illnesses have been reported thus far, the company strongly encourages consumers to discard any potentially affected eggs. Salmonella infection symptoms can include fever, diarrhea, and vomiting, and can be particularly severe for vulnerable populations like infants and the elderly.
