A salmonella outbreak has sickened 98 people in 17 states since November, with investigators identifying recalled shell eggs from Midwest Poultry Services as a likely source. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the findings Friday, though the Indiana-based company is not believed to be responsible for all illnesses.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been investigating the outbreak alongside the FDA. As of Friday, 98 individuals have reported confirmed cases of salmonella across seventeen states. The recalled eggs are suspected of being the cause, but officials note that Midwest Poultry Services does not account for every instance of illness connected to the outbreak.
No right-leaning outlets were found to report on this story; coverage is limited to PBS Newshour and The Washington Times. While the FDA has identified a probable source, the full extent of contamination and the reasons why Midwest Poultry Services doesn't fully explain all cases remain unclear.
