The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry (DACF) is ordering a recall of eggs from Rainbow Farm in Orland following a salmonellosis outbreak.
The Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention has identified the consumption of these eggs as the source of the outbreak.
At least five people have gotten sick and tested positive for salmonellosis after eating eggs from the farm.
DACF is working with Rainbow Farm to address the issue, and production and distribution of the eggs has been halted while the farm undergoes testing, farm sanitization, processing equipment cleaning, and potential culling of affected laying hens.
