The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued an update Thursday on the salmonella outbreak that led to the recall of about 200 million eggs produced by an Indiana farm.
According to the CDC’s bulletin, which was the first issued since April 16, 12 more people from five states were confirmed to have fallen ill since the last update. This brought the number of people sickened by the salmonella outbreak to 35 across nine states. A total of 11 people were hospitalized in relation to the outbreak, with no fatalities reported so far.
With the newly released information in mind, the CDC advised consumers, restaurants, and retailers respectively not to eat, serve, or sell the eggs involved in the recall. The advisory also warned that the tainted eggs should be disposed of, or returned to the place of purchase for a refund.
