A salmonella outbreak linked to recalled eggs sickens people in 9 states

A salmonella outbreak linked to recalled eggs has sickened 65 people across nine states, according to U.S. health officials. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 24 people have been hospitalized, though no deaths have been recorded. The outbreak is tied to eggs from Milo’s Poultry Farms and Tony’s Fresh Market, which were distributed in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan. The recall affects all carton sizes and expiration dates of these brands due to potential salmonella contamination.

The illnesses occurred between May 23 and August 10, primarily in Wisconsin and Illinois, with cases also reported in California, Utah, Colorado, Minnesota, Iowa, Michigan, and Virginia. The actual number of cases may be higher than reported. Consumers are advised not to eat the recalled eggs, as salmonella can cause serious infections, especially in vulnerable populations.
