What Do We Know About the Milo’s Poultry Egg Recall?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), at least 65 people in nine states have been severely impacted by the salmonella outbreak linked to the eggs, and 24 people have been hospitalized.

Consumers are urged to remain vigilant and discard any recently purchased eggs from Milo’s Poultry Farms and Tony’s Fresh Market. The food products may be contaminated with salmonella, a bacteria that can cause serious and fatal infections, the Food and Drug Administration has warned.

The current recall includes all carton sizes and expiration dates. The CDC is reporting that people fell ill between May 23 and August 10, so it is unlikely that there are many eggs left from that particular batch. The reported illnesses were identified in Wisconsin, Illinois, California, Utah, Colorado, Minnesota, Iowa, Michigan and Virginia. The actual number of sicknesses related to the egg salmonella outbreak is unknown as many people have not reported their illnesses, or realized that their medical condition was linked to the Milo’s Poultry recall.

After initial reports, the FDA tested environmental samples which came back positive for salmonella. Lab testing showed that this Salmonella strain is resistant to nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin, make the illness in this outbreak more difficult to treat. Salmonella exposure often leads to nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever and stomach pain. Most people will recover from a salmonella infection within a week, but it can be fatal in vulnerable individuals such as children and older adults.
