Milo's Poultry Farms, LLC is recalling some eggs sold in three states around the country, including Wisconsin, due to potential for posing a "serious and sometimes fatal" health risk.

Milo's Poultry Farms has recalled all the "Milo's Poultry Farms" and "Tony's Fresh Market" branded eggs after it was determined the eggs could potentially be contaminated with salmonella, according to a recall notice shared September 6 by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.

The eggs were distributed to retail stores and food service distributors in Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan and include all expiration dates of all carton sizes and egg types of the Milo's Poultry Farms brand as well as all expiration dates and carton sizes of the Tony's Fresh Market brand.

According to the recall notice, the contaminated eggs are linked to an ongoing Salmonella outbreak investigation, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noted has led to 65 cases and at least 24 hospitalizations. No deaths have been reported.

Per the FDA website, salmonella could cause "serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems." Symptoms often include fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, but more severe illnesses, such as arterial infections and endocarditis, could occur in rare circumstances.

Anyone who has purchased the recalled eggs should not consume them. For more information and to see product photos, visit fda.gov.
