Major Egg Recall Affecting 9 States

The US Food and Drug Administration issued a recall on Sept. 6 for two brands of eggs due to the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.

The recall is for all eggs sold by Milo's Poultry Farms and Tony's Fresh Market eggs from May 23, 2024, through August 10, 2024, including organic, cage-free, and non-GMO eggs. The recall is ongoing and may expand. 

Milo’s Poultry Farms’ eggs were distributed in WI, IL, and MI through retail stores and foodservice distributors. However, the recall expanded to CA, CO, IA, MN, UT, and VA. Most of the sick consumers are from Wisconsin (42) and Illinois (11), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.

A total of 65 people from the nine states have gotten sick from the same strain of Salmonella. Of the 65 sick, 24 were hospitalized, with no deaths.

Affected products are:

The recall was initiated after the FDA informed Milo’s Poultry Farms of Bonduel, WI, that environmental samples tested positive for the bacteria. FDA conducted whole genome sequencing and found that the samples were related to an ongoing Salmonella outbreak investigation.

FDA's analysis showed the outbreak strain of Salmonella was found in the packing facility and the hen egg laying house.

Do not eat any recalled egg products. Throw them away or return them to where you bought them. Suppliers and distributors contact Milo's Poultry Farms and/or the FDA to report any product you might have.
