As health officials dig deeper into a salmonella outbreak, it’s surprising just how many egg brands in Illinois are involved in this unsettling situation.
We really shouldn't be surprised, but it has begun. Some stores in Missouri and Illinois have started rationing the number of eggs you can get at one time.
While the cost of eggs continues to increase, there are a few ways to make that carton last longer in your fridge. Some may even keep past the "sell by" date.
If you picked up eggs in Illinois recently, you need to make sure they didn't come from Wisconsin as many are now under an upgraded emergency recall from the Food and Drug Administration.
This is becoming one of the most significant Salmonella outbreaks so far this year. 24 people have been hospitalized including 11 in Illinois due to a contamination of eggs.
