The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, public health and regulatory officials in several states, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are collecting different types of data to investigate outbreaks in multiple states salmonella Intestinal infection.
Epidemiological and retrospective data show that the National Egg Distribution Eggs LLC may be contaminated salmonella Enteritidis, may make people sick.
Epidemiological data
As of August 27, 2025, a total of 95 people were infected with the pressure of the outbreak salmonella 14 states have been reported. The disease begins with dating, from January 7, 2025 to July 26, 2025. No deaths have been reported.
The number of patients in this outbreak may be much higher than reported, and the outbreak may not be limited to states with known diseases. This is because many people recover without medical treatment and have not been tested salmonella. Additionally, recent illnesses may not have been reported, as it usually takes 3 to 4 weeks to determine whether the patient is part of the outbreak.
Public health officials collect many different types of information from patients, including their age, race, race, other demographics, and the food they ate the week before they get sick. This information provides clues to help investigators identify the source of the outbreak.
The following table contains information about the patient during this outbreak (“N” is the number of people available for each population).
State and local public health officials are interviewing people about the food they ate the week before they get sick. Of the 36 people interviewed, 33 (92%) reported eating eggs. This percentage is significantly higher than 78% of respondents who reported eating eggs in the Food Network survey, which helped estimate the frequency of people eating a variety of foods associated with diarrhea. This difference suggests that people in this outbreak get sick from eating eggs.
State health officials identified subgroups of diseases at four restaurants. Disease subclusters are an unrelated group of patients who eat at the same location or event (such as a restaurant). Investigating subgroups can help determine what foods all patients eat, which may be the source of the outbreak. Eggs are offered in four restaurants with disease subgroups.
Laboratory and traceability data
Public health investigators are using the pulsar system to identify diseases that could be the outbreak. CDC Pulsenet manages a national database of bacterial DNA fingerprints that cause foodborne diseases. DNA fingerprinting on bacteria using a method called whole genome sequencing (WGS).
WGS shows that the bacteria in the patient sample are closely genetically related. This shows that people in this outbreak are sick from the same food.
Based on WGS analysis, bacteria from samples from 94 people predicted resistance to netisaccharide and non-sensitivity to ciprofloxacin (NSC); this NSC strain was associated with salmonella Isolated with chicken, eggs and backyard poultry. Most people salmonella There is no antibiotic in the recovery of disease. However, if antibiotics are required, some diseases in this outbreak may not be able to use some commonly recommended antibiotic treatments and may require different antibiotic options. More information is available at the National Antibiotic Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) site.
The FDA reported on the situation of shopping or eating eggs and dishes in the time frame of interest based on patient reports. Country Eggs, LLC is identified as a general supplier.
Public Health Action
On August 27, 2025, Rural Egg Co., Ltd. recalled eggs. The CDC advises people not to eat recalled eggs and businesses do not sell or provide recalled eggs.
