A farm is recalling two entire brands of eggs after dozens of consumers across the U.S. became sick with salmonella.
Milo's Poultry Farms LLC, which is based in Bonduel, Wisconsin, has begun recalling all eggs branded "Milo’s Poultry Farms" and "Tony’s Fresh Market" over a salmonella outbreak. The recall was announced on Friday.
Salmonella causes vomiting, dehydration and fever, and can be deadly to children and senior citizens. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 65 consumers have become sick and 24 have been hospitalized, and no deaths have been reported.
The recall includes all cartons labeled "Milo’s Poultry Farms" and "Tony’s Fresh Market" with all expiration dates. All eggs bought from Milo's Poultry Farms LLC for retail food service distribution are also recalled.

The eggs were sold to stores and restaurants in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois, though the outbreak has impacted nine states in total. The states include Virginia, Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado, Utah and California.
"The recall was initiated after the FDA informed the company that environmental samples tested positive for the bacteria," a press release by the FDA read.
