DHS: 42 in Wisconsin sickened by Salmonella from recalled eggs

MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin Department of Health Services and the Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection are investigating a Salmonella outbreak tied to eggs from a farm in the state.

On Friday, Milo’s Poultry Farms LLC issued a recall for all of its chicken eggs, including cage-free and organic eggs. That recall is for all cases and carton sizes and all expiration dates. The eggs were labeled with “Milo’s Poultry Farms” or “Tony’s Fresh Market.”

The eggs were sold at stores and restaurants in Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that 65 people in nine states were infected with the outbreak strain, including 42 people in Wisconsin. As of Friday, 24 people had been hospitalized.

If you purchased the recalled eggs, do not eat or cook with them. Throw them away. The DHS recommended checking your refrigerator for the recalled eggs.

If you ate any of the recalled eggs and are experiencing symptoms of a Salmonella infection such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever and/or vomiting, contact your healthcare provider immediately and let them know you may have been in contact with Salmonella.
