“Consumers, restaurants, and retailers should not eat, sell, or serve recalled chicken eggs produced by Milo’s Poultry Farms, LLC and distributed to restaurants and retailers in IL, WI, and MI,” the FDA said.
The FDA said they were conducting an onsite inspection at Milo’s Poultry Farms and salmonella had been detected in the company’s poultry house and packing facility.
Symptoms of salmonella typically occur within the first 12 to 72 hours after consuming contaminated food, the FDA stated. Symptoms can last four to seven days and can include fever, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea.
Milo’s Poultry Farm, LLC voluntarily recalled eggs supplied by their farm since the investigation began, the FDA said.
The FDA advises those who may have contaminated eggs to discard them and carefully sanitize and clean any containers or surfaces the eggs may have touched.
