Milo’s Poultry Farms LLC of Bonduel is recalling all Milo’s Poultry Farms and Tony’s Fresh Market branded eggs, because the eggs have the potential to be contaminated with salmonella.
Salmonella is an organism that can have serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
Healthy persons infected with salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (such as infected aneurysms, endocarditis and arthritis.
Milo’s Poultry Farms’ eggs were distributed in Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan through retail stores and foodservice distributors.
This recall includes:
• All carton sizes and all egg types labeled with Mike’s Poultry Farms, all expiration dates.
• All carton sizes of Tony’s Fresh Market branded eggs, all expiration dates.
• All cases of eggs for foodservice distributors, all expiration dates.
This recall was initiated after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration informed the company that environmental samples tested positive for the bacteria. The FDA also conducted whole genome sequencing and found that the samples were related to an ongoing salmonella outbreak investigation.
Milo’s Poultry Farms has ceased production and distribution at this time and will undergo appropriate testing and sanitizing of farms and processing equipment.
Consumers who have purchased Milo’s Poultry Farms or Tony’s Fresh Market eggs are asked not to consume them. Consumers with questions can call the company at 715-758-6709.
