Eggs Tainted With Deadly Bacteria Pulled From Michigan Stores

According to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), recalled eggs are linked to a salmonella outbreak in Michigan and 9 other states. Eggs supplied by Milo's Poultry Farms LLC are contaminated with Salmonella and have left 65 infected, with 24 people hospitalized. Most people infected with Salmonella experience diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps. Symptoms could last four to seven days. Michigan residents are warned that a new update from the FDA sets the highest risk level classification and adds another brand to the recall.
