A salmonella outbreak linked to a massive egg recall expanded last week when 12 more people reported contracting the foodborne illness after eating the popular breakfast food item. A total of 35 people from nine states were sickened with salmonella after eating eggs that were traced back to the mid-April recall. EGG RECALL TOPS 207 MILLION AFTER MORE ADDED OVER SALMONELLA FEARSAt least 16 people who were ill said they ate egg dishes from different restaurants. Days later, Cal-Maine Foods, Inc. issued its own recall for 23,400 dozen eggs that it bought from the farm. FDA officials inspected Hyde County farm, a facility in North Carolina that produces 2.3 million eggs a day, after initial reports of illnesses.
