They were sold under the brand names Country Daybreak, Crystal Farms, Coburn Farms, Sunshine Farms, Glenview and Great Value; and at Walmart and Food Lion stores.
According to the Food and Drug Administration, twenty two illnesses have been reported to date.
The egg recall is the largest in the United States since 2010, according to Food Safety News.
