📰 News we're reading

• Ramona farm says county officials never asked for egg recall following salmonella outbreak (timesofsandiego.com) — A Ramona-based egg farm at the center of a local salmonella outbreak says county and state officials never directly asked it to recall eggs, despite public statements suggesting otherwise. The investigation has tied 23 illnesses, including cases in Ramona, to Happy Hens, and FDA testing found salmonella in two hen houses. Officials continue urging residents to handle and cook eggs carefully and discard cracked or dirty ones.
   

• Roundup: Gaige Weddle leads RB past Torrey Pines; Dons fall to 0-2 with loss in Arizona (sandiegouniontribune.com) — Ramona High's football team edged El Capitan 27–21, with quarterback Ryan Shaw throwing for 233 yards, two touchdowns, and adding a QB sneak score as Ramona moved to 1–2. The wider roundup recaps a full slate of San Diego County high school games, highlighting standout performances and early-season records that Ramona fans can compare against regional rivals.
   

• Recalls and Alerts: September 4–5, 2026 (efoodalert.com) — San Diego County health officials report that FDA inspectors found salmonella contamination at Happy Hens poultry farm in Ramona, which has been linked to 23 illnesses and seven hospitalizations. State health authorities have recommended the farm recall its eggs, but the company has not yet done so. The broader roundup also lists several unrelated international and U.S. food recalls and allergy alerts.
