Beginning in May, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC’s) PulseNet system, a nationwide surveillance system used to identify outbreaks, noted a 4-fold increase in reports of isolates of S enteritidis from across the country with the same pulsed-field gel electrophoresis pattern—an occurrence that helps scientists recognize foodborne disease case clusters and aids in early identification of a common source. Investigations by the CDC, local public health authorities, and the FDA traced the potential source of illness to Wright County Egg, in Galt, Iowa, and led to a recall of 380 million eggs sold under numerous brands across the country. Subsequently, Hillandale Farms of New Hamptom, Iowa, recalled an additional 170 million eggs.
