FDA has reported that a US egg producer has recalled more than 200 million chicken eggs possibly contaminated with salmonella bacteria after hundreds of reported cases of illness.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said it had been investigating since late June. It found almost four times the usual rate of salmonella-related illness being reported, an FDA statement said.
Salmonella can cause intestinal infections and is transmitted by foods contaminated by animal fecal matter.
