Federal health officials report that a salmonella outbreak linked to recalled shell eggs has sickened 98 people across 17 states since November. The cases are under investigation by federal agencies, including the FDA, as authorities work to identify the source and extent of the outbreak. Investigators say shell eggs recalled by Midwest Poultry Services are a likely source of the germ. However, officials also indicate that the company’s recalled supply does not fully account for all reported illnesses, suggesting either additional contaminated products or other contributing factors are possible. Public health agencies continue to track cases and assess laboratory and epidemiological findings to determine how widely the affected eggs were distributed and whether other producers or batches are involved. People are advised to follow guidance related to egg recalls and food safety while investigations continue. No additional details about deaths, specific symptoms, or the timing of individual case reports are included in the provided accounts.
