Egg recall: Eggs sold in 3 states linked to possible salmonella outbreak
Recalled eggs sold in three states are being linked to a possible salmonella outbreak.
According to an announcement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, eggs from Wisconsin-based Milo’s Poultry Farms could potentially be contaminated with salmonella. After inspecting samples from the farm, Food and Drug Administration analysis showed the outbreak strain of Salmonella was found in both the packing facility and the hen egg-laying house.
Milo’s Poultry Farms LLC voluntarily recalled eggs on Sept. 6. The recalled eggs were sold to stores and restaurants in Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and labeled with “Milo’s Poultry Farms” or “Tony’s Fresh Market.” All egg types, sizes and expiration dates are recalled, according to the CDC.
Sixty-five people were infected with salmonella across nine states, including California, reports USA TODAY.
The illnesses started from May 23 to Aug. 10, according to an FDA alert issued Friday. Twenty-four people have been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported.
The FDA is urging consumers who have purchased the affected brands not to consume them.
