Outbreak investigation of Salmonella Enteritidis in eggs (Sept 2024)

The FDA and CDC are assisting state and local partners from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture Trade and Consumer Protection and Wisconsin Department of Health Services in an investigation of Salmonella Enteritidis infections linked to eggs supplied by Milo's Poultry Farms, LLC of Bonduel, Wisconsin (WI). 65 people from 9 states ((CA (2), CO (1), IA (2), IL (11), MI (2), MN (3), UT (1), VA (1), and WI (42)) have become sick from the same strain of Salmonella. Of the 63 people with information available, 24 have been hospitalized, and no deaths have been reported. FDA is conducting an onsite inspection and collected samples at Milo's Poultry Farms, LLC. Salmonella Enteritidis was detected in samples collected from Milo's Poultry Farm packing facility and poultry house. The analysis determined that the Salmonella detected in these samples matched the strain of Salmonella that caused illnesses during this outbreak. 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. Laboratory testing showed that the Salmonella that made people sick is resistant to nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin. The resistance to common antibiotics makes the treatment more difficult. https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/outbreak-investigation-salmonella-eggs-sept-2024?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery
