Lecco, fresh eggs recalled due to salmonella

The Italian Ministry of Health has announced a precautionary recall of specific batches of fresh category A eggs. This recall was initiated by the producer following the detection of Salmonella in the farm located in Beverate di Brivio, in the province of Lecco. Buyers are advised to refrain from consuming products from the reported batches and to return them to the point of sale where they were purchased. Salmonella is one of the most commonly identified bacteria responsible for foodborne infections. These infections cause various gastrointestinal symptoms, including fever, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In some cases, the infection can evolve into bacteremia or cause focal infections that affect bones and meninges, especially in vulnerable subjects such as the elderly and children.
