The Food and Drug Administration in late September upgraded a previous egg recall alert to warn consumers of serious reactions and possibly death, if consumed. The recall was originally announced Sept. 6 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and was upgraded Sept. 30 to Class I, a product that "will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.” The original recall notification stated 65 people in nine states were infected with salmonella linked to eggs supplied by Milo's Poultry Farms LLC from May 23 to Aug. 10. No deaths were reported, but 24 people were hospitalized, according to the CDC. Milo's Poultry Farms is in Bonduel, Wisconsin, about 29 miles north of Green Bay. The small business grocery store has voluntarily recalled all eggs supplied by its farm, the FDA said. The recalled eggs were distributed to retailers and food service distributors in Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan, the agency said. USA TODAY reached out to Milo's Poultry Farms and Tony's Fresh Market for comment. "The health and safety of our customers is our top priority. We are fully cooperating with the FDA on their investigation and have taken immediate action by removing all affected products related to this recall from our shelves," Marisa Kutansky, a spokesperson for Heritage Grocers Group, the owner of Tony's Fresh Market, previously told USA TODAY.
