Milo’s Poultry Farms, LLC., announced a widespread recall of eggs Wednesday due to a potential Salmonella contamination, affecting products sold across three Midwestern states.
The recall covers all eggs branded as “Milo’s Poultry Farms” and “Tony’s Fresh Market,” regardless of carton size, egg type, or expiration date. It also includes all cases of eggs distributed for retail foodservice.
The Wisconsin-based company distributed the eggs to retail stores and foodservice outlets in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initiated the recall after environmental samples tested positive for Salmonella bacteria. Whole genome sequencing revealed a connection to an ongoing Salmonella outbreak investigation.
Salmonella infections can cause severe illness, particularly in young children, elderly individuals, and those with weakened immune systems. Symptoms often include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
In response to the contamination risk, Milo’s Poultry Farms suspended production and distribution. The company plans to conduct thorough testing and sanitization of its farms and processing equipment before resuming operations.
Consumers who purchased the affected eggs should not consume them. The company urges customers with questions to call (715) 758-6709 for more information.
This recall highlights the ongoing challenges in food safety and the importance of rigorous testing protocols in the food production industry.
