More than 1.5 million cartons of eggs have been recalled amid a salmonella outbreak that has affected 17 states.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it resulted in 98 reported cases and 26 hospitalizations. No deaths have been reported.
As of last month, there was one reported case in New York, a map on the CDC’s website shows. The New York State Department of Health did not immediately respond to questions about the exact location.
The affected cartons contain the codes P-1950 or 0840962, and a Julian date between 157 and 184 printed on the side. Credit: CDC
The brown cage-free and white shell eggs were sold in bulk and retail sizes ranging from six to 60 per carton, the CDC reported, with "sell by" or "best by" dates listed between July 20 and Aug. 17.
The recalled eggs were sold in "Kroger Stores in Texas and Louisiana; Brookshire Grocery stores in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana, and other smaller retail and foodservice outlets in these states plus Mississippi and New Mexico," the CDC announced.
