FDA Links Salmonella Outbreak to Recalled Eggs from Midwest Poultry Services
Federal health officials have reported that nearly 100 individuals across 17 states have been affected by a salmonella outbreak linked to recalled eggs. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) identified Midwest Poultry Services, an Indiana-based company, as a likely source of the outbreak. The illnesses were reported between November 21 and June 30, with 26 hospitalizations but no fatalities. The eggs, which were distributed from farms in Texas, were sold under various brand names and have sell-by dates ranging from July 20 to August 17. Consumers are advised to check their refrigerators for these recalled eggs and either discard them or return them to the store for a refund. Symptoms of salmonella poisoning include diarrhea, fever, severe vomiting, dehydration, and stomach cramps, with most individuals recovering within a week.
