Illnesses started as early as February 24, 2025, and continued through May 17, 2025. Of those who became ill:
27 of 30 reported eating eggs or egg-containing dishes.
21 people were hospitalized.
No deaths have been reported.
FDA traceback efforts identified August Egg Company as the common supplier. Environmental testing confirmed Salmonella Enteritidis contamination at their processing facility.
Salmonella can cause serious illness—especially in:
Children under 5.
Older adults.
People with weakened immune systems.
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.
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.
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.

Forgotten 'weeds' prove a culinary hit in Kenya
Once dismissed as wild weeds and a "poor man's food", indigenous leafy vegetables in Kenya are now becoming much more common - grown on farms, sold in markets and gracing the menus of restaurants. At the busy Skinners Restaurant in Gachie just outside the capital, Nairobi, one employee says demand for "kienyeji" - as all local vegetable varieties are known - is higher than for other greens. "Many people ask for kienyeji when they come here," Kimani Ng'ang'a tells the BBC, despite the fact the restaurant charges extra for them as he says they are harder to source. Vegetables like cabbage, spinach, kale and spring greens, introduced by colonial authorities before the 1960s, are more readily available and cheaper. Spring greens are known as "sukumawiki", meaning "stretch the week" in Swahili, reflecting how they have become a daily staple. But diners in Gachie are part of the growing wave of Kenyans who see the benefits of eating local, organically produced nutrient-rich varieties of greens. "It detoxifies the body and is good in weight loss," says James Wathiru, who ordered "managu" - or African nightshade. Another person told me: "It's all about its taste, which is better." According to horticulture professor Mary Abukutsa-Onyango, this trend is reflected in government data and some of the health benefits are backed by research. Over the last 10 years, production of local greens has doubled - with 300,000 tonnes produced by local farmers last year, she says. It is a remarkable change in attitudes, given people used to look down on traditional crops as inferior - not realising they were often more resistant to diseases and pests, meaning they can be grown organically. In the 1980s, when Prof Abukutsa-Onyango began her studies, she says she was perplexed to find them referred to as "weeds". "We never learnt about African indigenous vegetables. They were calling amaranth 'pigweed' [and] spider plant, they were calling it 'spider weed'," she tells the BBC. Her postgraduate research on traditional plants was also tricky as there was no literature about them, but she persevered and now works with the government to promote them for food security. She says managu and other local vegetables like "mrenda" (jute mallow) and "terere" (amaranth) have more essential minerals than sukumawiki, as well as "higher levels of vitamin A and C [and] antioxidants" that boost immunity and reduce the risk of disease. Some varieties also contain protein, making them an excellent option for vegetarians. She notes for instance that 100g (3.5 ounces) of mrenda - known for its distinctive slimy texture when cooked - contains more nutrients than a similar portion of common cabbage. The progress people like Prof Abukutsa-Onyango have made in promoting the diversity and knowledge of indigenous vegetables was acknowledged by Unesco in 2021, when the UN cultural agency commended the East African nation for the "safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage" that had been threatened by "historical factors and the pressures of modern lifestyles". It noted that Kenya had begun a project in 2007 involving scientists and local communities to record an inventory of traditional foods, which now includes 850 indigenous plants and their local names. Some of these vegetables are eaten nationwide, while others are specific to certain areas or communities. But sukumawiki, first introduced to Kenya from the Mediterranean as animal feed, is still favoured by many farmers - with more than 700,000 tonnes produced in 2023 - more than double the volume of all indigenous leafy vegetables combined. Francis Ngiri, who used to farm in Kirinyaga in central Kenya where cabbages are a mainstay crop, explains that this is because, especially during the 1970s, those growing imported leafy vegetables used fertilisers and pesticides that damaged the local biodiversity. Today, he tells the BBC, only the introduced varieties thrive as the soil has become too acidic to support many native species. Determined to do something so they would not be lost forever, Mr Ngiri moved his operation to Kenya's Rift Valley - an area he considers relatively untouched by chemical contamination - so he could practise organic farming of indigenous crops. On a four-acre (1.6 hectare) farm in Elementaita, he began with 14 native varieties in 2016. Today that has grown to 124, many of which he has sourced through seed exchanges with fellow farmers. His farm now draws visitors from across Kenya and neighbouring countries. They come to see how he collaborates with 800 other regional farmers, who also grow organic food for local markets, to preserve and regenerate "forgotten plants", ensuring their genetic diversity is safeguarded for future generations. Nonetheless by swapping seeds, Mr Ngiri and his colleagues are actually breaking the law as the government only allows the planting of certified seeds. This controversial law was introduced in 2012 with the intention of protecting farmers from purchasing poor quality seeds. Wambui Wakahiu, who trains farmers on seed conservation, says such policies do not support efforts to save indigenous crop varieties, as their seeds are not available in farm-supply shops. She works for Seed Savers Network, a non-governmental organisation with 400,000 members, which helps establish seed banks for farmers to safely store and preserve their local seeds. Her team found that more than 35 traditional plant varieties had been "completely lost" in one county alone because of the law. "If [the farmers] focus more on the exotic [foreign] seeds, then the traditional seeds continue going away. And we have seen most of them go extinct," she tells the BBC. Mr Ngiri and others who have been exchanging seeds have not been pursued by the authorities, but he says the law does prevent them from marketing them: "If I can't sell the seed, I don't own it." And getting certification is a rigorous, costly process, as seeds need to be tested in a laboratory for their purity and things like how well they germinate. Dr Peterson Wambugu, a chief research scientist with the national gene bank at the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (Kalro), acknowledges that under the current law, the exchanging and sale of uncertified seeds - including those saved by farmers - is criminalised. However, he points out that this is at odds with the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, of which Kenya is a signatory, as it sets out farmers' rights to save, use and exchange their seeds. The national gene bank has been working with other groups to draft regulations through the agriculture ministry to align Kenyan law with the treaty. The proposals, once passed by parliament, will allow farmers to exchange their seeds "without fearing that what they are doing is criminal", he tells the BBC. However, the selling of such seeds would still remain outlawed - something Dr Wambugu knows means the journey to full acceptance of indigenous crops continues. For Priscilla Njeri, a vegetable vendor in the bustling Wangige market in Kiambu county just outside Nairobi, there is no turning back, as she can see first-hand that indigenous greens are now the most popular with her customers - something she puts down to the media campaigns that promote them. "The most preferred are managu, terere and kanzira [African kale] - which is popular for those who have sensitive stomachs as it has no gas," she tells the BBC. "But all the kienyeji greens are good because they have a better taste."

Skin Cancer Symptoms And Images
Key takeaways Skin cancer often appears on sun-exposed areas such as the face, chest, arms, and hands. However, it can also develop in other areas. Different types of skin cancer – such as actinic keratosis, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma – have distinct appearances. Some symptoms include scaly patches, sores that don't heal, shiny bumps, and moles with irregular features. Regular self-exams and annual check-ups with a doctor, along with sun protection measures, are important for early detection and reducing the risk of skin cancer. Skin cancer most often develops on areas of your body that get the greatest exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. It's commonly found on your face, chest, arms, and hands. It can affect anyone. Even if you've never had a sunburn, you're at risk of developing skin cancer. In People of Color, it's often diagnosed at an advanced stage. This could be due to different factors like access to healthcare, delay in detection, or presentation. Because of lack of research, there are limited resources for recognizing darkly pigmented lesions in People of Color. Skin cancer can also develop on less exposed areas of your body, like: scalp ears lips neck under your fingernails bottoms of your feet genitals Skin cancers often appear as a suspicious mole, freckle, or spot. But accompanying symptoms depend on the type of skin cancer. Actinic keratosis An actinic keratosis, known as a precancer, is a scaly or crusty lesion. It most commonly appears on various areas of your body: scalp face ears lips back of your hands forearms shoulders neck These areas are most frequently exposed to the sun. These lesions are sometimes so small that they're found by touch instead of sight. They're often raised and may feel like a small patch of sandpaper on your skin. Depending on your skin tone, the lesions may be red, light or dark tan, white, pink, flesh tones, or a combination of colors. It's important to treat actinic keratosis early. Untreated lesions have up to a 10 percent chance of becoming squamous cell carcinoma. Basal cell carcinoma Basal cell carcinoma develops in your basal skin cells. These cells are at the bottom of your epidermis, the outer layer of your skin. Basal cell carcinoma has several different appearances. It can look like a: sore that doesn't heal after seven to 10 days red patch that may itch, hurt, crust, or bleed easily shiny bump that can be pink, red, or white or brown on lighter skin. If you have darker skin, it can look tan, black, or brown. pink growth with an elevated border and an indented center This type of skin cancer also usually appears on the areas of your body most exposed to the sun. Basal cell carcinomas tend to be easy to treat. These growths develop very slowly, making it less likely they'll spread to other organs or invade muscle, bone, or nerves. But you should talk with your doctor if you notice anything new or changes to your skin or if a wound or sore isn't healing. Squamous cell carcinoma Squamous cell carcinomas commonly occur on more sun-exposed body parts. They can also appear on the inside of your mouth or on your genitals. It's the most common skin cancer in Black people. The tumors caused by squamous cell carcinoma can take a variety of forms, including: scaly, red to burgundy, or flesh-toned patches that bleed open sores that bleed, crust, and don't heal tender, raised growths with a center indent that bleeds a growth that resembles a wart, but crusts and bleeds Squamous cell carcinoma is also known to may feel tender and cause intense itching, which further irritates and inflames your skin. Scratching these areas of your skin can lead to infections that need to be treated with antibiotics. Left untreated, squamous cell carcinoma can grow larger. In rare cases, these lesions can spread to lymph nodes and other organs. Melanoma While melanoma isn't the most common type of skin cancer, it's the most serious. This type of skin cancer can be found anywhere on your body, even in your eye. In People of Color, it often occurs in areas that get little sun exposure, usually on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and nails. For individuals who have light or fair skin, it can be often found on the trunk or lower legs. Use the 'ABCDE' method to help determine if a mole or freckle may be melanoma. You'll want to see your doctor if any of these symptoms apply. A: asymmetrical If you drew a line down the middle of a healthy mole, both sides would look very similar. Cancerous moles are asymmetrical. This means that one half of a cancerous mole looks very different from the other. B: border The edges of a healthy freckle or mole should look smooth and fairly even. Ragged, raised, or notched borders can be a sign of cancer. C: change in color A healthy freckle or mole should be a uniform color. Color variation may be caused by cancer. Keep an eye out for different shades of: tan brown black red white blue D: diameter A mole or freckle that's larger than 6 millimeters (about the diameter of a pencil eraser) may be a sign of skin cancer. E: evolving Take note of any new moles or freckles. You should also look for changes in the color or size of your existing moles. Treating skin cancer Most types of skin cancer that are diagnosed in the early stages are treated by removing the lesion. This can be done in several ways: Cryosurgery. Liquid nitrogen is applied to your growth to freeze it. The growth then falls off or shrinks without any incisions. This method is often used to treat actinic keratosis. Curettage and electrodesiccation. Your growth is scraped off with an instrument known as a curette. The area is then burned with an electrocautery needle to destroy any remaining skin cancer cells. Creams. Your doctor may prescribe topical preparations like imiquimod (Aldara, Zyclara) and 5-fluorouracil (Carac, Efudex). You use these creams for several weeks to remove actinic keratosis and superficial basal cell carcinomas. Excisional surgery. Your growth and the surrounding skin that appears healthy are removed with a scalpel. The healthy skin is then tested for evidence of skin cancer cells. If cancer cells are found, the procedure is repeated. Cancer that's spread to your lymph nodes or other organs will require more invasive treatments. This may include chemotherapy or surgery. Talk with your doctor about the treatment option that's best for you. Preventing skin cancer You can lower your risk of developing skin cancer with these prevention tips: Use a sunscreen of at least 30 SPF every day. Apply it 30 minutes before going outside. If you're sweating a lot or swimming, reapply your sunscreen every 2 hours. Avoid the sun between peak sun hours, which are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. If you must be outside, wear sunglasses, hats, and light clothing that will cover your skin. Do a self-examination of your skin at least once a month.

From Heart To Skin, Sun's Got Your Back: Soak Up Smart Doses
While too much sun is harmful for your health, too little can mean you miss out on its potentially irreplaceable benefits. When it comes to sun exposure, neither extreme is good. Instead, a balanced dose is likely the healthiest when it comes to catching rays. 'The 'never go outside without S.P.F. 50' approach treated sun exposure as if it were universally harmful,' said Dr. Lucy McBride, an internal medicine physician in Washington, D.C., per The New York Times. Instead, 'moderate, thoughtful sun exposure,' which will vary from person to person, may offer benefits we're still discovering.' The amount of sun exposure that is too much depends on factors such as age, health condition, and skin tone, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). All else equal, people with darker complexions can bask in the sun longer than those with fairer complexions. However, it also takes darker skin tones longer to absorb sunshine. That means while people with fairer skin might burn faster, they can also top up their Vitamin D much quicker, meaning prolonged exposure is not necessary. In terms of benefits, sunshine has been shown to help lower blood pressure, regardless of the temperature. One study in the Journal of the American Heart Association even tied moderate sunlight exposure to a lower risk of heart failure. Add this to the list of habits you might want to consider incorporating to help reduce the chance of heart disease. The sun has also been linked to improved immune function, may offer protective benefits to the central nervous system, and can help improve symptoms in people suffering from eczema. Of course, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Too much time spent on the beach without protection can lead to skin cancer, the most common form of cancer in the United States. Almost 20 Americans die from melanoma daily. 'Everyone's skin can be impacted by the sun and other forms of UV rays – regardless of their skin color,' said Dr. Shanthi Sivendran, senior vice president at the American Cancer Society, per the Independent.
