Be careful with breakfast.

Indiana is among nine states where the eggs were sold.

The salmonella outbreak is linked to 79 hospitalizations, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC.

The recall was issued on June 6 after brown cage-free eggs and brown certified organic eggs distributed by August Egg Company and sold under different brand names and restaurants were linked to the outbreak, the Food and Drug Administration says.

“FDA is working with the firm to determine if eggs were distributed elsewhere and will update the advisory as information becomes available,” the FDA states on its website.

The outbreak has led to an investigation, the FDA says.
