Consumers have been urged to throw away millions of eggs as the recall is upgraded to Class I

Officials continue to warn consumers about the ongoing egg recall that has now been upgraded to Class I, meaning the eggs could cause “severe health effects or death.”

Milo’s Poultry Farms LLC, based in Bonduel, Wisconsin, has been recalling its eggs since September, when officials tied the eggs to a salmonella outbreak. The recall involves all eggs labeled “Milo’s Poultry Farms” and “Tony’s Fresh Market” with all expiration dates.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed the latest Class I recall to FOX Business on Monday. The FDA website states that the Class I recall is “status[s] where there is a reasonable possibility that the use of, or exposure to, the infringing product will cause adverse health effects or death.”

According to the FDA’s website, the recall affects 345,417 cartons of eggs – the equivalent of more than four million eggs in total. The eggs were sold to stores and restaurants in Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan during the summer.

The CDC says 65 consumers became ill from the eggs and another 24 were hospitalized, but there have been no deaths. Illness was reported in Virginia, Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado, Utah and in California.

The recall began after the FDA found that the eggs tested positive for salmonella.

“The recall was initiated after the FDA notified the company that organic samples had been tested for contamination,” an FDA press release said.

“The FDA also performed whole genome sequencing and found that the samples were related to the ongoing investigation of the salmonella outbreak.”

Salmonella causes fever, vomiting and dehydration, and can be very dangerous for adults and children.

Consumers are urged to discard any eggs sold under the “Milo’s Poultry Farms” and “Tony’s Fresh Market” brands. The CDC also asks consumers to sanitize items and areas that may have come into contact with the returned eggs.
