A recall by Milo’s Poultry Farms, LLC, based in Bonduel, Wisconsin for various eggs due to potential contamination with Salmonella remains ongoing and with additional product information now available. Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause serious infections, especially in vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems.
Background
The recall was prompted after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) informed Milo’s Poultry Farms that environmental samples had tested positive for Salmonella. Further analysis using whole genome sequencing revealed that these samples were linked to an ongoing Salmonella outbreak investigation.
There are 65 reported cases of Salmonella infection resulting in 24 hospitalizations across 9 states connected to the recalled eggs. No deaths have been reported.
Approximately 345, 417 dozen eggs have been recalled.
This recall is now classified as a Class 1 recall, meaning that there is a reasonable probability that eating the food will cause health problems or death.
Distribution
This recall affects products distributed across Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin through various retail outlets and foodservice distributors.

Health Risks
There have been reported cases of illness in relation to the recalled eggs. Any consumer who has been exposed to the affected egg products, and is experiencing symptoms of Salmonella infection or food poisoning, should contact their medical provider immediately.
Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause severe gastrointestinal illness in humans. Symptoms typically include diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, appearing six hours to six days after exposure to the bacteria. While most people recover without specific treatment, the infection can be severe, especially for young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
Commenting on this story, one national Salmonella lawyer said, “Salmonella has the potential to cause severe illness but fortunately no deaths have been reported yet. Any consumer experiencing symptoms of foodborne illness, or any kind of sickness, after eating the recalled eggs should see their doctor immediately.”
