Egg Recall Expands Over Salmonella Outbreak

Cal-Maine Foods Inc, the nation’s largest egg seller and distributor, said it is recalling about 800,000 dozen eggs related to an expanded recall tied to a salmonella outbreak.

The FDA says the recall is related to an ongoing investigation of an outbreak that has sickened more than 2,000 people.

While it wasn’t immediately clear which Iowa producer supplied the Cal-Maine eggs, Iowa’s Hillandale Farms said that it was recalling its eggs after laboratory tests confirmed illnesses associated with them.

The company did not say how many eggs were being recalled or if it is connected to Wright County Egg, the Iowa farm that recalled 380 million eggs earlier this week.

An FDA spokeswoman said the two recalls were related.
