The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a warning about a salmonella outbreak that's been tied to eggs sold in the Midwest, stirring concern among consumers nationwide. According to the City of Minneapolis Health Department's Facebook page, several people have reported cases of salmonella poisoning, including individuals in Minnesota.
The CDC's advice is clear and to the point: "Do not eat recalled eggs. Throw them out or return them to where they were purchased," as stated by the City of Minneapolis Health Department. This outbreak is more than a mild concern, prompting swift action from anyone who may have the affected eggs in their fridge. In addition, items or surfaces that may have touched the recalled eggs should be sanitized using a dishwasher or hot, soapy water; not a job to be taken lightly considering salmonella's notorious resilience.
For those seeking more information about the recall and how to proceed, a visit to the CDC's website is recommended, as per the City of Minneapolis Health Department.
