FDA Traces Egg Salmonella Outbreak to Unsanitized Henhouse
Original: FDA Explains the Midwest Poultry Egg Salmonella Outbreak: A Henhouse Tested Positive and Was Not Cleaned Before New Hens Went In. 134 Sick in 18 States, 34 Hospitalized, 1,589,577 Dozen Eggs Recalled.
The FDA says a henhouse that tested positive for Salmonella was not cleaned before new hens were introduced, causing an egg-linked outbreak that has sickened 134 people across 18 states, with 34 hospitalized. Roughly 1,589,577 dozen eggs from Midwest Poultry have been recalled as investigators work to contain the spread and urge consumers to check cartons.
Why now: A large egg recall and a multi-state Salmonella outbreak with dozens of hospitalizations are prompting concern among consumers and health officials.
