While the Detroit Free Press and Serious Eats detail the scale of the recall, ABC affiliate coverage emphasizes that the infections are tied in part to the Texas-produced eggs, leaving the full scope of the supply chain impact currently under FDA review. No direct contradictions appear across the provided coverage, though outlets vary in their focus on the specific geographic distribution of the recalled stock versus the total number of affected individuals.
