FDA warns popular egg brands could cause 'death' after major recall READ MORE: Major egg recall across multiple states over salmonella fears By Emily Joshu Health Reporter For Dailymail.Com Published: 15:03 EDT, 1 October 2024 | Updated: 15:46 EDT, 1 October 2024 e-mail View comments Several brands of recalled eggs have been given the most dangerous warning label, health officials announced. Last month, the FDA recalled chicken eggs from Milo's Poultry Farms and Tony's Fresh Market due to a salmonella outbreak in nine states.
This week, the FDA gave the recall a 'Class I' label, meaning that there is a 'reasonable probability' that exposure to the eggs 'will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.' Distributed by Wisconsin-based Milo's Poultry Farms, LLC, the contaminated eggs have sickened 65 people and hospitalized 24. No deaths have been reported yet.
All contaminated eggs have been recalled, the FDA said The recall covered products with a 'Best Buy' date of October 12, 2024, or sooner The CDC warned that this strain of salmonella, which affects about 1.3million Americans a year, may be particularly difficult to treat, as it is resistant to the common antibiotics nalidixic acid and ciprofloxacin (Cipro). The eggs were recalled after salmonella was detected in the hen egg-laying house and the Wisconsin packing facility.
State officials revealed that 42 of the infections occurred in Wisconsin, where a large number of people said they got sick after eating eggs at.
