A farm is recalling two types of eggs after 65 individuals in nine states became ill with salmonella.
Milo’s Poultry Farms LLC, based in Wisconsin, is recalling eggs branded “Milo’s Poultry Farms” and “Tony’s Fresh Market” in response to a salmonella epidemic that has infected people across the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), twenty-four of those patients have been hospitalized, with no deaths reported.
The recall includes all cartons labeled “Milo’s Poultry Farms” and “Tony’s Fresh Market” with all expiration dates, according to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The eggs were sent to restaurants and businesses in Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin, but the disease eventually extended to Iowa, Colorado, California, Utah, Minnesota, and Virginia.
The CDC is asking people to discard or return eggs sold under the recalled brands. The government also encourages anyone who had the recalled eggs to disinfect any things or surfaces that came into contact with the tainted product.
Those with issues or inquiries are encouraged to contact Milo’s Poultry Farms at (715) 758-6709.
