WASHINGTON – Investigators from the Food and Drug Administration are working to find the cause of a salmonella outbreak that has sickened as many as 1,300 people and forced the recall of more than a half-billion eggs.
Two Iowa farms linked to the disease outbreak , Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms , share suppliers of chickens and feed as well as ties to an Iowa business with a history of violating state and federal law.
The number of illnesses, which can be life-threatening, especially to those with weakened immune systems, is expected to increase. The most common symptoms are diarrhea, abdominal cramps and fever eight to 72 hours of eating a contaminated product.
