Wisconsin adds 21 to the National Salmonella Enteritidis Egg Outbreak

By Bill Marler, Esq.

California has been at 266, Minnesota at 7, Nevada at 30 and according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Wisconsin State health officials today confirmed a Salmonella outbreak that sickened 21 diners at a Kenosha restaurant in June to the nationwide recall of 228 million eggs (now increased to 380 million eggs) by an Iowa producer.

Wright County Egg of Galt, Iowa, on Friday issued another voluntary nationwide recall of eggs it had shipped since May 19 to food wholesalers, distribution centers and foodservice companies in California, Illinois, Missouri, Colorado, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa. Those companies distribute nationwide, reselling eggs under various brand names: Lucerne, Albertson, Mountain Dairy, Ralph's, Boomsma's, Sunshine, Hillandale, Trafficanda, Farm Fresh, Shoreland, Lund, Dutch Farms and Kemps.

The affected cartons - which still may be in stores, restaurants and homes - come in varying sizes and carry plant numbers P1026, P1413 and P1946, followed by a date code ranging from 136 to 225. The stamps with the date codes and plant numbers can be found on the end of the egg carton.
