The FDA has recalled eggs from Milo’s Poultry Farms LLC due to a salmonella outbreak that has infected 65 people in nine states. The recall affects all eggs supplied by the farm, which is based in Bonduel, Wisconsin, and includes products sold under the “Tony’s Fresh Market” label.
Eggs distributed by Milo’s Poultry Farms were sold in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois, where most of the infections have been reported. Wisconsin has the highest number of cases, with 42, followed by Illinois with 11. The CDC reported that 24 individuals have been hospitalized due to the outbreak, though no deaths have occurred.
The FDA’s investigation found salmonella in the poultry house and packing facility at Milo’s Poultry Farms. The company has voluntarily recalled its products, and the FDA is continuing its onsite inspection.
Symptoms of salmonella infection typically develop within three days of consuming contaminated food and can include fever, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. The FDA advises consumers to dispose of any recalled eggs and to clean surfaces that may have come into contact with them.
The outbreak has spread to states beyond the Midwest, with cases reported in California, Utah, Colorado, and Virginia. As the FDA’s investigation continues, consumers are urged to stay vigilant and take precautions if they have purchased eggs from Milo’s Poultry Farms.
