Massive egg recall in US south and south-west due to salmonella outbreak

A massive egg recall has been issued in the US south and south-west, affecting nearly 1.6 million dozen eggs. This recall was elevated to the US Food and Drug Administration's highest-risk warning due to concerns that the eggs may be contaminated with salmonella, a type of bacteria that causes foodborne illness. The outbreak has already sickened nearly 100 people, making it one of the largest recorded foodborne illness outbreaks in US history. This recall will likely impact the egg market and potentially lead to increased food safety regulations in the industry.
