Over 200 Million Eggs Recalled After East Coast Salmonella Outbreak
Nearly 207 million eggs have been recalled by Rose Acre Farms due to possible Salmonella braenderup contamination. The eggs are sold under a number of brand names including Coburn Farms, Country Daybreak, Food Lion, Glenview, Great Value, Nelms, and Sunshine Farms. Recalled eggs were also sold to restaurants.
Health officials were able to pinpoint Rose Acre Farms as the source of an outbreak that sickened 23 people in 9 states, specifically the company’s Hyde County, NC location. All of the ill consumers reported eating eggs or meals that contained eggs, which helped officials narrow down the outbreak source. Six people were hospitalized. To date, no deaths have been reported in association with this outbreak.
