The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has advised consumers not to eat eggs produced by Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms – both located in Iowa – because they may be contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis, bacteria that may cause serious health problems.

The DSHS and local health departments are collaborating with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the US Food and Drug Administration and public health officials in many states to investigate an increase of over 1500 Salmonella Enteritidis infections in several states.  A large number of these illnesses have been definitively linked to eggs produced by Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms.

Since mid-May there have been more than 165 Salmonella Enteritidis infections in Texas, scattered across more than 40 counties throughout the state.  A traceback investigation is ongoing to determine if these illnesses are linked to the consumption of contaminated eggs.
