Health authorities have recalled eggs after an outbreak of salmonella infections among 65 people in nine states. The outbreak occurred at a farm in Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin Department of Health said in a statement Friday that 42 people from Wisconsin were among those infected with salmonella, where the eggs were reportedly sold.

“The eggs were distributed in Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan through foodservice stores and distributors,” the department said. “The recall includes all types of eggs, such as conventional cage-free, organic and non-GMO, carton sizes and expiration dates in containers labeled ‘Milo’s Poultry Farms’ or ‘Tony’s Fresh Market.'”

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed in a statement on its website that 65 people in nine states had been infected with a strain of salmonella, with 24 hospitalizations and no deaths as of Friday. The states include Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Virginia, Colorado, Utah and California, the agency said.

The egg recall was conducted by Milo’s Poultry Farms LLC in Bonduel, Wisconsin, the CDC said.

“Anyone who has purchased the recalled eggs is advised not to eat or cook with them and to throw them away. Restaurants are not allowed to sell or serve recalled eggs,” the Wisconsin Department of Health said.

The department advised anyone who has eaten the eggs and is experiencing symptoms to contact a health care provider. Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever and vomiting that last for several days, the statement said.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced new measures in July to reduce salmonella in poultry products. The proposed guidelines included requiring poultry farms to maintain salmonella levels below a certain threshold and to test for the presence of six particularly pathogenic forms of the bacteria, three found in turkey and three in chicken.

If bacteria are found that exceed the proposed standard and one of the strains is identified, poultry must no longer be sold and the products must be recalled.

The CDC estimates that salmonella causes 1.35 million infections each year, most of them foodborne, and about 420 deaths. The Department of Agriculture estimates that there are 125,000 infections from chicken and 43,000 from turkey each year.
