(LOOTPRESS) – The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a warning regarding a recall of eggs sold in Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin due to a Salmonella outbreak.
The eggs, supplied by Milo’s Poultry Farms LLC, were sold in stores and restaurants under the brand names “Milo’s Poultry Farms” and “Tony’s Fresh Market.” All types, sizes, and expiration dates of these eggs are affected.
As of now, 65 people have fallen ill, with 24 hospitalized. The outbreak strain has proven resistant to some common antibiotics, which may complicate treatment. The CDC advises consumers to discard or return any recalled eggs and thoroughly clean surfaces that may have come into contact with them.
Symptoms of Salmonella include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, typically occurring 6 hours to 6 days after infection. Vulnerable groups, such as young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems, may experience more severe illness.
Consumers are urged to remain vigilant and follow safety guidelines to avoid further illness.
