The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a warning following a recall of eggs sold in three states due to a salmonella outbreak. In a “Food Safety Alert” released Friday, the CDC reported 24 hospitalizations linked to the outbreak. The agency urged consumers to avoid eating any of the recalled eggs, which were distributed by Milo’s Poultry Farms LLC and sold in stores and restaurants in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois.
Milo’s Poultry Farms, in an announcement on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) website, confirmed the recall of all eggs under the “Milo’s Poultry Farms” and “Tony’s Fresh Market” brands. These eggs may be contaminated with Salmonella, a bacteria that can cause severe illness, particularly in young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
Infections from Salmonella can lead to symptoms such as fever, diarrhea (sometimes bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In some cases, the infection can spread to the bloodstream, causing more severe complications like arterial infections, endocarditis, and arthritis.
The CDC advises anyone experiencing severe symptoms, such as prolonged diarrhea or intense vomiting, to seek medical attention immediately.
