Evidence of salmonella has been found at Cal-Maine Foods, Inc., which is the nation’s biggest egg seller and distributor. The evidence has led to recalling 288,000 eggs that the company purchased from supplier Ohio Fresh Eggs after a test showed salmonella at the Ohio farm.

The salmonella at the Ohio egg farm has been linked to two Iowa egg farms that were responsible for a massive recall earlier this year. According to Cal-Maine Foods, the Ohio Fresh eggs were distributed in Arkansas, California, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas,

Austin “Jack” DeCoster, owner of one of the two Iowa egg farms that was linked to 1,600 salmonella illnesses earlier this year, has been a financial backer of Ohio Fresh Egg.

So far, there have been no reported illnesses.
