I know I do, so when we start seeing recalls on a regular basis now, it's mildly concerning and downright alarming.

And it seems like more and more recalls are coming about lately, like a cucumber recall that saw tons of cucumbers get tossed away to prevent the spread of Salmonella.

We also recently saw a massive tomato recall, and there were several salsas and salads that had a recall put in place over the past week or so.

Now it appears as though there's another product recall that's been issued, and this one is very concerning.

Eggs Are Being Pulled From Shelves Amid A Salmonella Outbreak

Eggs are the most recent victim of Salmonella contamination, and are being recalled in 9 states throughout the country.

The eggs were produced by the August Egg Company, and the egg factory number is either P-6562 or CA5330, according to CBS News.

What States Are Eggs Being Recalled In?

As of now, the eggs are being recalled in 9 states: California, Washington, Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, New Mexico, Nebraska, Nevada, and Wyoming.

Although New Jersey hasn't been named as one of the states facing a recall, there's still cause for concern in the Garden State, as the CDC reports that at least 1 person in our state has been affected by these tainted eggs.

If you think you may have some of these eggs in your fridge, you're urged to throw the contaminated product away or return it to the store.
