Wisconsin health officials issue egg recall following multistate salmonella outbreak

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on Saturday that a salmonella epidemic connected to recalled eggs has affected dozens of individuals in nine states.

Out of the 63 incidents for which data is available, 24 have involved hospital stays. There have been no recorded fatalities. The CDC reports that the epidemic might be hard to treat with routinely prescribed medicines because laboratory testing revealed the bacteria's resistance to ciprofloxacin and nalidixic acid. The period of illness was from May 23 to August 10.

There have been no recorded fatalities.

Tony's Fresh Market or Milo's Poultry Farm are listed on the label of the eggs. The recall covers all egg varieties, sizes, and expiration dates.

Milo's Poultry Farms LLC, located in Bonduel, Wisconsin, provided the eggs, which were then transported to eateries and retailers in Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. They might have been sent somewhere else, according to the US Food and Drug Administration. On Friday, the recall was made public.

You should discard the recalled eggs or bring them back to the retailer. Hot, soapy water or a dishwasher should be used to clean any objects and surfaces that may have come into contact with the recalled eggs.

According to the organization, the afflicted states include Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Virginia, Colorado, Utah, and California. Wisconsin, where the majority of the eggs were sold, has been the site of the most documented instances.

Within hours or days of ingesting the bacteria, diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps can all be signs of a salmonella infection. The majority of people will recover without medical intervention, but if they experience severe symptoms, symptoms that don't go away after a few days, or dehydration symptoms, they should visit a doctor right once. People with compromised immune systems, the elderly, and children are more susceptible to serious illness.

The CDC advised anyone who ate the eggs and had these symptoms to get in touch with their doctor.

Salmonella is thought to be the cause of 1.35 million infections (mostly via food) and 420 fatalities per year, according to the CDC. According to the Agriculture Department, 43,000 infections come from turkeys and 125,000 from chickens annually.
