Egg Recall in Arizona: Salmonella Outbreak Linked to “Sunshine” & “Omega-3 Golden” Yolk
Egg Recall in Arizona: A widespread Salmonella-linked egg recall has hit Arizona. Consumers are urged to check for cartons labeled “Sunshine Yolks” or “Omega-3 Golden Yolks” (CA-7695, July–September 2025) typically sold in major grocery chains, and safely dispose of or return any affected eggs.
Egg Recall in Arizona
Arizona consumers are being urged to check their refrigerators after a multistate Salmonella outbreak has been traced to eggs sold under various brands—including those found in Arizona.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have linked this outbreak to large brown cage-free eggs labeled as “Sunshine Yolks” or “Omega-3 Golden Yolks”, bearing Plant Code CA-7695 and sell-by dates from July 1 to September 18, 2025. These were sold under the brand names Nagatoshi Produce, Misuho, Nijiya Markets, and Country Eggs.
Impact So Far
95 people across 14 states, including Arizona, have fallen ill; 18 hospitalizations have occurred. Thankfully, no deaths have been reported.
Cases span from January 7 through July 26, 2025, with production distributed between June 16 and July 9 in California and Nevada. The eggs reached grocery stores and food-service distributors, and may have spread beyond those states.
Likely Retailers in Arizona
The specific Arizona retailers have not been officially named in the recall, but the FDA confirms the eggs were delivered to grocery stores and food service distributors.
Given distribution patterns in Arizona, it’s highly likely these eggs were available at major grocery chains such as:
Safeway / Albertsons
Walmart Supercenters
Sprouts Farmers Market
Whole Foods Market
Trader Joe’s
These outlets commonly carry egg brands like Nagatoshi Produce, Misuho, or Nijiya Markets, and are abundant across the Phoenix-metro region and statewide. While these are likely sources, please confirm with your local store or county health department for the most accurate information.
