If you have eggs sitting in your fridge, you may want to check the supplier. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says recalled eggs supplied by Milo's Poultry Farms, LLC are linked to an ongoing salmonella outbreak.

To date, 65 people across nine states have gotten sick from the same strain of salmonella, and 24 people have been hospitalized. Per the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which is investigating the outbreak along with the CDC, the illnesses started on dates ranging from May 23, 2024 to August 10, 2024.

The nine states affected by the salmonella outbreak include Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, California, Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Utah, and Virginia, with most sick people residing in Wisconsin and Illinois.

The recalled eggs were sold to stores and restaurants in Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and labeled with "Milo's Poultry Farms" or "Tony's Fresh Market." All egg types, sizes, and expiration dates are recalled, the CDC's alert states.

If you have the recalled eggs in your home, throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Wash all items and surfaces that may have touched the eggs with hot, soapy water or run through your dishwasher.

Symptoms of salmonella usually begin within six hours to six days after ingesting the bacteria. Individuals infected with the bacteria typically experience diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps. While most people recover without treatment, salmonella can be more severe in children younger than 5 years, adults 65 years and older, and people with weakened immune systems.
