( KTVX ) – After more than 60 salmonella cases were linked to eggs sold by Milo’s Poultry Farms LLC, the brand has ordered a recall of all egg products, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Milo’s Poultry Farms LLC, of Wisconsin, sold its products to restaurants and stores in Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, but illnesses connected to the same strain of salmonella were reported in six other states, including California, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Utah and Virginia.

Of the 65 reported illnesses , 24 people were hospitalized. Most of the cases — 42 — were reported in Wisconsin. Illinois reported 11, the second-highest number of cases for a single state.
Fewer cases were reported in the other states, but the CDC acknowledged that “the true number of sick people is likely much higher than the number reported,” and the outbreak may not be confined to the nine states reporting illnesses as of the agency’s latest update.
