More Than 3 Dozen People Sickened by Salmonella as Massive Egg Recall Continues
A massive egg recall linked to salmonella was recently expanded after more than a dozen people “reported contracting the foodborne illness after eating the popular breakfast food item.” According to the original recall notice, 35 people across nine different states fell ill with salmonella poisoning “after eating eggs that were traced back to” an April recall. At the time the April recall was issued, 22 people had been sickened and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that “more than 207 million eggs produced by Rose Acre Farms in Seymour, Ind., were being recalled due to possible salmonella contamination.”
