Milo’s Poultry Farms recalls all eggs due to salmonella outbreak

A farm is recalling two entire brands of eggs after dozens of consumers in the United States became ill with salmonella.

Milo’s Poultry Farms LLC, based in Bonduel, Wisconsin, has begun recalling all Milo’s Poultry Farms and Tony’s Fresh Market brand eggs due to a salmonella outbreak. The recall was announced Friday.

Salmonella causes vomiting, dehydration and fever and can be fatal to children and the elderly. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 65 consumers have become ill and 24 have been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported.

The recall includes all cartons labeled “Milo’s Poultry Farms” and “Tony’s Fresh Market” with all expiration dates. All eggs purchased from Milo’s Poultry Farms LLC for the retail food market are also being recalled.

The eggs were sold to stores and restaurants in Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois, although the outbreak affected nine states in total. The states include Virginia, Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado, Utah and California.

“The recall was initiated after the FDA informed the company that environmental samples tested positive for the bacteria,” the FDA said in a press release.

“The FDA also conducted full genome sequencing and determined that the samples were related to an ongoing investigation into a salmonella outbreak.”

The CDC is urging consumers to throw away or return any eggs from the affected brands. Anyone who purchased the eggs is also asked to clean objects and surfaces that may have come into contact with the recalled eggs.
