20 million eggs recalled from Walmart, Safeway other stores in WA, other states
The recall was issued June 6 for 20 million eggs distributed to Walmart, Safeway, chains owned by Kroger and various other independent and chain supermarkets around the country. The Centers for Disease Control is recommending that people throw the eggs away.
Hilmar, California's August Egg Co., a division of Gemperle Enterprises, produced the eggs and issued the recall last week.
'August Egg Company is not selling fresh shell eggs at this time,' the company-written, FDA-posted recall notice said. 'Our firm has voluntarily been diverting eggs to an egg-breaking plant for over 30 days, which pasteurizes the eggs and kills any potential foodborne pathogens.'
Packaging for the recalled eggs will have plant code P-6562 or CA5330 with the Julian Dates between 32 to 126.
The eggs that went to Walmart stores had sell-by dates from March 4 through June 19. Other retailers got eggs with 'sell by dates' from March 4 through June 4.
The recall section of Walmart's website say the egg recall involves its stores in two dozen states, including Washington. The FDA's recall list includes California, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nebraska, Indiana and Illinois.
Here are specific brands to look for:
▪ Marketside (a Walmart store brand): Organic Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18; Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18.
▪ First Street (a Smart & Final house brand): Cage Free Large Brown loose eggs.
▪ Clover: Organic Large Brown Eggs, one dozen.
▪ Nulaid: One dozen Medium Brown Cage Free, one dozen Jumbo Brown Cage Free.
▪ O Organics: Cage Free Large Brown, six eggs; and Large Brown, 12 and 18 eggs. This brand will be found at Safeway and other Albertson's-owned stores.
▪ Raley's (store brand): Large Cage Free Brown, 12 eggs: Organic Large Cage Free Brown, 12 and 18 eggs.
▪ Simple Truth: Cage Free Large Brown and Medium Brown 18 eggs. This brand will be found at Food 4 Less, Ralphs and other Kroger-owned chains.
▪ Sun Harvest: Organic Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18.
▪ Sunnyside: Organic Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18; and Large Cage Free Brown Eggs in cartons of 12 and 18.
An outbreak update from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says 79 people have been sickened in this outbreak with 21 hospitalizations. Most of those have been in California, with four in Washington.
The remaining 10 break down as Nevada (four); Arizona (three); Nebraska and New Jersey (two each); and Kentucky (one).
Salmonella outbreaks tend to be under-counted because most people recover without medical attention.
The CDC estimates about 1.35 million people in the United States will get salmonella each year. Of that number, 26,400 will be hospitalized, usually driven to the hospital by bloody diarrhea, and 420 will die.
Usually, salmonella means a few days of diarrhea, vomiting, fever and stomachaches.
The Mayo Clinic notes that salmonella symptoms include:
Nausea and/or vomiting
Abdominal cramps
Diarrhea and/or blood in the stool
Fever
Chills
Headache
If you have any of the recalled eggs listed above, return them to the store for a refund or throw them deep into the garbage. If you have any questions about the recalls, call August Farms at 800-710-2554, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, Pacific time.

Anbogen Receives FDA Clearance to Initiate Phase 1/2 Trial of ABT-301 Triplet Therapy for Advanced Colorectal Cancer
TAIPEI, Aug. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Anbogen Therapeutics today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for ABT-301, enabling the initiation of a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in combination with tislelizumab and bevacizumab for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). This open-label, multi-center international study plans to enroll 66 patients with proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) or non-microsatellite instability-high (non-MSI-H) mCRC to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of the triplet therapy. Enrollment is planned in Taiwan and Australia. Tislelizumab, a PD-1 monoclonal antibody, used in this trial is provided by BeOne Medicines (formerly known as BeiGene). Further details on this collaboration were disclosed by Anbogen in a press release dated September 27, 2024. ABT-301 is an oral HDAC1/2/3 inhibitor. Preclinical studies have shown that it promotes CD8+ cytotoxic T cell infiltration and activity, enhances antigen presentation, and inhibits M-MDSCs cells, effectively modulating the tumor microenvironment and converting "cold tumors" into "hot tumors" to improve the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors. ABT-301 also exhibits pro-apoptotic, anti-angiogenic, and tumor metabolic regulation effects. As a single-molecule, multi-modality anti-cancer agent, ABT-301 aims to enhance tumor treatment when combined with the two antibody drugs. Notably, in a previous Phase 1 monotherapy clinical trial involving 23 participants, ABT-301 did not exhibit neutropenia or cardiac toxicity, which are commonly observed in other HDAC inhibitors—further supporting its suitability for use in combination immunotherapy. Approximately 95% of mCRC patients are pMMR or non-MSI-H types—commonly referred to as "cold tumors"—which respond poorly to current immunotherapies. Only around 5% of patients with deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) or microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) "hot tumors" typically benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors. According to GlobalData, an estimated 370,000 new pMMR/non-MSI-H patients in second-line or later settings are diagnosed annually across the U.S., China, Japan, and the top five European markets (UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy), representing a potential market size of USD $9 billion. Anbogen stated that the FDA's IND approval marks a key milestone in the development of ABT-301, demonstrating the safety profile of the triplet therapy and advancing it into clinical stages. The company emphasized that the study targets the majority of patients (over 90%) with poor responses to immunotherapy, aiming to provide a novel treatment option and address this unmet clinical need. Looking ahead, Anbogen will continue to advance the clinical development of ABT-301 while pursuing global licensing and strategic partnerships to accelerate commercialization and market entry. The company is also launching its Series B fundraising to attract strategic partners committed to advancing innovative cancer therapies and global expansion. About Anbogen Therapeutics Anbogen Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company committed to developing precision oncology therapies that improve the lives of cancer patients worldwide. The company currently has two core assets: ABT-301, a HDAC1/2/3 inhibitor with immune-modulating capabilities, enhances the tumor microenvironment and boosts immune responses. It significantly improves the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), offering a new treatment pathway for the majority of patients who do not benefit from ICIs. ABT-501 is a novel Peptide Drug Conjugate (PDC) that targets LHRH-receptor tumors using a proprietary delivery system. It has shown strong efficacy and safety in triple-negative breast cancer models, with potential for broader cancer applications.

Rectal Cancer Survival Not Tied to pCR
TOPLINE: According to a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs), pathologic complete response (pCR) was not associated with overall or disease-free survival in patients with rectal cancer, suggesting that the use of pCR as a surrogate endpoint for survival should be reexamined. METHODOLOGY: Neoadjuvant trials in rectal cancer are increasingly using pCR as a surrogate endpoint for long-term outcomes, following recommendations by the FDA in 2012. However, while some research has shown an association between pCR and improved survival in rectal cancer on the patient level, consensus on the trial-level validity of pCR as a surrogate is lacking. Researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 25 RCTs involving 11,882 patients with rectal cancer who underwent neoadjuvant therapies (mostly chemo radiation) followed by surgical resection. The researchers assessed the correlation between pCR and both overall survival and disease-free survival. TAKEAWAY: Across trials that reported overall survival, weighted regression analysis revealed no correlation between pCR and overall survival (β, 0.37; 95% CI, -0.98 to 1.71; P = .57). Similarly, across trials reporting disease-free survival, there was no correlation between pCR and disease-free survival (β, -0.84; 95% CI, -2.55 to 0.87; P = .32). A sensitivity analysis conducted after excluding two studies with a high risk for bias also yielded null associations. The researchers performed subgroup analyses excluding studies that evaluated neoadjuvant radiation alone or included patients who did not receive curative resection and again found no association between pCR and either disease-free or overall survival. IN PRACTICE: 'Our trial-level analysis did not reveal a correlation between pCR and [disease-free survival] or [overall survival] in rectal cancer RCTs,' the authors of the study concluded. 'Our study's findings suggest a recommendation against using pCR as a [surrogate endpoint] for neoadjuvant therapies in rectal cancer until conclusive trial-level evidence of its association with long-term outcomes is firmly established.' SOURCE: This study, led by Kavin Sugumar, MD, Tulane University, New Orleans, and Jessica Jin Lie, MD, MPH, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, was published online in JAMA Network Open. LIMITATIONS: A subgroup analysis of total neoadjuvant therapy trials was not feasible due to insufficient sample size. Additionally, postsurgical therapies in patients without pCR may have improved outcomes, potentially diluting its association with survival. Mediation analysis was not possible due to lack of patient-level data. DISCLOSURES: The authors did not disclose any funding information. One author disclosed receiving personal fees from Novartis, consulting fees from Boehringer Ingelheim, and grants from Eli Lilly and Company and Taiho, outside the submitted work. Another author reported receiving royalties as a coauthor on several chapters of UpToDate. No other disclosures were reported. This article was created using several editorial tools, including AI, as part of the process. Human editors reviewed this content before publication.

FDA Calls for Better Opioid Safety Labeling
The FDA is requiring manufacturers of opioid pain medications to update safety labels to better emphasize risks linked to their long-term use, the agency announced in a new Drug Safety Communication. The changes are based on observations from a May meeting between the Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee and the Anesthetic and Analgesic Drug Products Advisory Committee, which met to discuss two postmarketing requirement studies that assessed risk for abuse, addiction, and overdose in long-term use of opioid analgesics. One of the observational studies showed that over 12 months of use, 1%-6% of the more than 2000 total participants met criteria for opioid addiction, 9% met criteria for prescription opioid abuse, and 22% met criteria for prescription opioid misuse. In the second study, 5-year cumulative incidence estimates for opioid overdose-related death ranged from 1.5%-4.0%. In addition, 17% of first opioid overdoses over the entire 5-11 year study period were fatal. The new safety-labeling requirements are a result of these findings, committee and public comments from the meeting, and recognition that there is currently an 'absence of adequate and well-controlled studies on long-term opioid effectiveness,' the FDA noted in a press release. 'The death of almost 1 million Americans during the opioid epidemic has been one of the cardinal failures of the public health establishment,' FDA commissioner Marty Makary, MD, said in the release. 30-Day Warning The FDA has also called for a new prospective, randomized controlled trial to be conducted that will focus primarily on assessing risks and benefits of opioids used over the long term. For now, the updated labeling should include a better explanation of risks, stronger warnings about higher doses, clarification about use limits, an emphasis that long-acting or extended-release opioids should only be used if shorter-acting opioids or other medications have proven inadequate, and a reminder about serious harm that can come if a patient who becomes physically dependent does not stop opioid use. Additionally, the revised labels should provide information on possible opioid-related problems with the esophagus; on opioid overdose reversal agents; on toxic leukoencephalopathy, which can occur after overdose; and on negative drug-drug interactions, including gabapentinoids. 'This long-overdue labeling change is only part of what needs to be done — we also need to modernize our approval processes and postmarket monitoring,' Makary said. The release noted that OxyContin's drug application was first approved without supportive long-term use data. The FDA added that manufacturers have 30 days to submit the newly required labeling updates for review.
