Health officials have confirmed a Salmonella outbreak linked to multiple brands of brown organic and brown cage-free eggs, impacting consumers in seven states. The investigation is ongoing, but preliminary findings point to contaminated eggs as the source of the infections. The affected eggs were distributed to grocery stores across multiple states, leading to a voluntary recall of specific egg brands.
Consumers are advised to check their egg cartons for identifying information and discard any eggs that match the recalled brands. Salmonella infection can cause diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps, and in severe cases, may require hospitalization. Health experts recommend thoroughly cooking eggs to reduce the risk of infection. Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses and more information becomes available.
