The first outbreak case was reported in January 2025. By mid-April, more than 30 outbreak cases had been identified.

Between mid-June and mid-July, the CDC received reports of spike in the occurrence of illnesses caused by the same outbreak strain. The reports included reports of illnesses experienced by customers of four restaurants.
With this new information, the FDA reopened its traceback investigation and determined that Country Eggs was a common supplier of the eggs consumed by outbreak victims.
