The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are collaborating with state and local agencies, including the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, to investigate a Salmonella Enteritidis outbreak associated with eggs from Milo’s Poultry Farms, LLC, based in Bonduel, Wisconsin.

As of September 6, 2024, the outbreak has affected 65 individuals across nine states. The infections began between May 23, 2024, and August 10, 2024. Of the 63 cases with available information, 24 people have been hospitalized, though no fatalities have been reported.

The FDA has conducted an onsite inspection at Milo’s Poultry Farms, where Salmonella Enteritidis was identified in samples from both the packing facility and poultry house. Whole Genome Sequencing confirmed that the Salmonella strain found matches the outbreak strain.

In response to the findings, Milo’s Poultry Farms has voluntarily recalled all eggs distributed from their facility. The recall affects eggs sold under the “Milo’s Poultry Farms” label, as well as those branded as “Tony’s Fresh Market,” and includes all carton sizes, expiration dates, and egg types distributed in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan.

Consumers who have purchased these eggs are advised to check their cartons and avoid consuming the recalled products.
