The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that the salmonella egg outbreak has now spanned to several states. Illnesses began in November 2017 and are still causing people to be hospitalized with serious health problems. Consumers, restaurants, and retailers have purchased the contaminated eggs. In some cases, diarrhea associated with salmonella infection can be so dehydrating as to require prompt medical attention. Life-threatening complications are possible if salmonella spreads.
