Wisconsin health officials initiated a recall of eggs following an outbreak of salmonella infections among 65 people in nine states that originated on a Wisconsin farm.The Wisconsin Department of Health Services said in a statement Friday that among those infected by salmonella are 42 people in Wisconsin, where the eggs are believed to have been sold."The eggs were distributed in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan through retail stores and food service distributors," the department said. The recall includes all egg types such as conventional cage-free, organic, and non-GMO, carton sizes, and expiration dates in containers labeled with 'Milos Poultry Farms' or 'Tonys Fresh Market.'The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed in a statement on its website that 65 people in nine states were infected by a strain of salmonella, with 24 hospitalizations and no deaths as of Friday. The states include Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Virginia, Colorado, Utah, and California, the agency said.The egg recall was undertaken by Milos Poultry Farms LLC of Bonduel, Wisconsin, the CDC said.Anyone who purchased the recalled eggs is advised to not eat them or cook with them and to throw them away. Restaurants should not sell or serve recalled eggs," the Wisconsin health department said.The department advised anyone who ate the eggs and is experiencing symptoms to contact a healthcare provider. Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and vomiting lasting for several days, the statement said.The U.S. Department of Agriculture in July announced new measures to limit salmonella in poultry products. The proposed directive included requiring poultry companies to keep salmonella levels under a certain threshold and test for the presence of six particularly sickening forms of the bacteria, three found in turkey and three in chicken.Bacteria exceeding the proposed standard and identification of any of the strains would prevent poultry sales and leave the products subject to recall.The CDC estimates salmonella causes 1.35 million infections annually, most through food, and about 420 deaths. The Agriculture Department estimates there are 125,000 infections from chicken and 43,000 from turkey each year.Its about time to watch on your time.
