A Rainbow Farm eggs Salmonella outbreak in Maine has sickened at least five people, according to the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry. That farm is located in Orland, Maine. Those patients have all tested positive for Salmonella. The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention has identified the consumption of these eggs as the outbreak source. The eggs are being recalled.
Public heath officials are working with Rainbow Farm to address this issue. Production and distribution of the eggs has ended while the farm conducts tests, sanitizes the buildings and equipment, and may cull affected laying hens.
The eggs were sold by the farm itself, and were also sold at these locations in Maine:
Bar Harbor (Eden) Farmers Market
Blue Hill Farmers Market
Northeast Harbor Farmers Market
Stonington Farmers Market
