A Milo’s Poultry Farms eggs Salmonella outbreak has sickened at least 65 people in nine states, according to the CDC. That farm is located in Bonduel, Wisconsin. The eggs may be labeled “Tony’s Fresh Market”
The case count by state is: California (2), Colorado (1), Illinois (11), Iowa (2), Michigan (2), Minnesota (3), Utah (1), Virginia (1), and Wisconsin (42). The patient age range is from 2 to 88 years. Twenty-four people are hospitalized because they are so sick. That’s a hospitalization rate of 37%, much higher than the typical 20% hospitalization rate for a Salmonella outbreak.
Epidemiologic, laboratory, and traceback evidence shows that eggs supplied by Milo’s Poultry Farms are contaminated with Salmonella bacteria and are making people sick. Public health officials have interviewed patients about the foods they ate before they got sick. Several sick people ate at the same restaurants. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services identified four illness clusters at restaurants where eggs were served.
Then, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection traced the egg source supplied to those restaurants to Milo’s Poultry Farms. An inspection was conducted at the farm. The outbreak strain of Salmonella was found in the packing facility and the hen egg laying house.
