Recalled Wisconsin Eggs Linked to Multistate Salmonella Outbreak, Dozens Ill

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) and the Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP) are investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella infections linked to eggs from Milo's Poultry Farms. The eggs, distributed in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan through retail stores and food service distributors, have been recalled. The recall includes all types of eggs—conventional, cage-free, organic, and non-GMO—packaged under the "Milo's Poultry Farms" and "Tony's Fresh Market" brands.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported that 65 people across nine states have been infected with the outbreak strain of Salmonella, with 42 cases in Wisconsin. The contamination has led to 24 hospitalizations but no reported deaths. Consumers who have purchased the recalled eggs are advised to discard them and avoid consumption. The company has ceased production and distribution while undergoing testing and sanitization procedures. The CDC and FDA continue to monitor the situation and recommend contacting healthcare providers if experiencing symptoms of Salmonella infection.
