A serious salmonella outbreak in nine states has prompted a widespread recall of certain brands of eggs.
On Friday, health officials made the decision to remove potentially dangerous products from shelves after identifying a farm in Wisconsin as the source of the infections.
All eggs sold at Milo’s Poultry Farms or Tony’s Fresh Market have been recalled.
The outbreak affected at least 65 people, although the actual number of cases is likely much higher because some people may recover from the disease without being tested for the bacteria.

In addition to Wisconsin, Salmonella cases have been reported in California, Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Utah, Virginia and Illinois, where there were 11 documented infections, the second-largest number.

The recall covered products with “all expiration dates,” but it’s unclear at this time how many were ultimately recalled.
The first infections were reported as early as May, but most of them were documented between July and August, according to the CDC.
The FDA said Salmonella symptoms range from abdominal pain, fever and diarrhea.
They noted that signs of infection are usually evident within three days of consuming the contaminated food.
Symptoms usually disappear within a week. However, people with weakened immune systems, such as children and the elderly, are vulnerable to more serious and sometimes fatal infections.

Along with the CDC, the Food and Drug Administration is still actively investigating the outbreak.
The salmonella infections come after a summer that saw a spate of fatal listeria cases, leading to a recall of seven million pounds of Boar’s Head deli products.
The outbreak resulted in nine deaths and a number of hospitalizations.
This prompted the temporary closure of a Boar’s Head facility in Virginia, where officials discovered dead flies, black mold and water dripping onto meat.
