The investigation into a multistate outbreak of Salmonella infections connected to eggs from a Wisconsin farm is being carried out by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) and its collaborators.
The epidemic strain of Salmonella has infected 65 persons in nine states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This comprises forty-two Wisconsin residents.
The eggs have been recalled, according to officials, after being supplied through food service distributors and retail outlets in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan. All egg types, including conventional cage-free, organic, and non-GMO varieties, as well as carton sizes and expiration dates, are included in the recall. The containers have the labels “Milo’s Poultry Farms” or “Tony’s Fresh Market.”
It is recommended that anyone who purchased the recalled eggs discard them and refrain from eating or cooking with them. Recalled eggs should not be served or sold in restaurants. Look for this product in your house.
Make prompt medical attention if you have consumed any of the recalled eggs and are exhibiting signs of a Salmonella infection. Inform them that it’s possible you came into contact with Salmonella.
A Salmonella infection can cause vomiting that lasts for many days, fever, diarrhea, and stomach pain.
The bacteria that cause salmonella infections, also known as salmonellosis, are contracted by eating or drinking tainted food or water, or by coming into direct or indirect contact with excrement from animals or people who are infected. Though it seldom causes bloodstream infections that might be fatal, salmonella is a common cause of diarrheal disease.

More severe symptoms may be experienced by children, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems. Even while the majority of people who have salmonellosis will recover on their own, some people might need to drink more fluids to stay hydrated.
