FDA raises egg recall to top risk amid Salmonella outbreak
The FDA elevated a July recall of about 19 million eggs linked to Salmonella to Class I, its highest risk level, signaling a reasonable probability that exposure could cause serious health consequences or death. The eggs were produced in Texas and distributed to six states; initial reports noted 98 illnesses, 26 hospitalizations, and Texas accounted for the majority of cases. Consumers should discard any remaining eggs or return them to the point of purchase. The digest also includes briefs on measles transmission from vaccinated individuals, vaccination messaging to boost older adults’ immunization, and chronic wasting disease found on Wisconsin deer farms, among other public health updates.
