The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recalled eggs due to a Salmonella outbreak. The outbreak has led to the hospitalization of two dozen people and has been linked to eggs sold by Milo’s Poultry Farms LLC.
Federal officials are investigating the outbreak, which has affected people in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois. The Salmonella strain was found in a packing facility and hen egg-laying house owned by Milo’s Poultry Farms LLC.
As of September 6, 2024, 65 people have become sick from the Salmonella outbreak. The CDC is advising people to avoid eating recalled eggs, and to throw them away or return them to the store. If you experience severe symptoms like diarrhea, fever, or vomiting, contact your healthcare provider.
People at higher risk of severe illness from Salmonella include children under 5, adults over 65, and those with weakened immune systems. Businesses and households that have come into contact with the affected eggs should not sell or serve them, and should thoroughly clean and sanitize any items or surfaces that may have been contaminated.
