Sixty-five cases of contracted salmonella have been reported across nine states.
In September, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) announced a recall on eggs supplied by Milo’s Poultry Farms, LLC, due to possible salmonella contamination. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently upgraded it to a Class I recall.
According to the FDA, a Class I recall is when there’s “reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.” Due to possible salmonella contamination in the eggs sold throughout the U.S., Milo’s Poultry Farms has voluntarily recalled all the eggs supplied by its farm.
The original recall said that 65 people in nine states (California, Colorado, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin) were infected with salmonella after consuming eggs labeled with “Milos’s Poultry Farms” or “Tony’s Fresh Market,” which were supplied from May 23 to August 10. Twenty-four people were hospitalized.
