Federal health officials have expanded the recall of eggs linked to a salmonella outbreak to 380 million eggs, or 32 million dozen.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has received reports of hundreds of illnesses in California, Colorado and Minnesota linked to eggs that came from Wright County Egg in Galt, Iowa. Illinois and other states are also reporting salmonella-related sicknesses.

Recalled brands include Lucerne, Albertsons, Mountain Dairy, Ralph's, Boomsma's, Sunshine, Hillandale, Trafficanda, Farm Fresh, Shoreland, Lund, Dutch Farms and Kemps. They feature plant numbers 1026, 1413 and 1946. They also include date numbers from 136 to 225, which translate into sell-by dates between May 16, 2010, to Aug.13.

Although the bacteria can be killed by thoroughly cooking eggs, officials recommend throwing away or returning the recalled eggs.
