Nearly 100 people in 17 states have been sickened in a salmonella outbreak tied to recalled eggs, federal health officials said Friday.
The 98 people had illnesses that started between Nov. 21 and June 30, according to the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration.
No deaths have been reported, but 26 people have been hospitalized.
Investigators have determined that shell eggs recalled by Midwest Poultry Services are a likely source of the germ, but the Indiana-based company doesn't account for all the illnesses.
Midwest Poultry previously recalled eggs produced and distributed from farms in Texas between June 6 and July 3.
The eggs were sold under several brand names and have sell-by or best-by dates between July 20 and Aug.
17.
Among the stores that received the recalled eggs were Kroger stores in Texas and Louisiana and Brookshire Grocery stores in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Mississippi.
Samples collected by Midwest Poultry at farms in Texas tested positive for salmonella, and genetic testing showed that some samples match the bacteria strain that sickened people, federal officials said.
Consumers should check their refrigerators for recalled eggs and throw them away or return them to stores for a refund.
Symptoms of salmonella poisoning include diarrhea, fever, severe vomiting, dehydration and stomach cramps.
Most people who get sick recover within a week.
Infections can be severe in young children, older adults and people with weakened immune systems, who may require hospitalization.
