Approximately 1,300 people have been sickened in a salmonella outbreak linked to eggs in three states and possibly more, as health officials dramatically widen the recall to 380 million eggs.

You know I think the feds should demand that the farmers should set up a sludge fund in preperations for reperations...

Seriously though that many eggs are going to affect food prices across the board. Think about all the products that contain egg.

We are talking about quite a lot of money that this costs,the whole chain from producer to consumer and any tort claim purely legal manner,in the end it becomes golden eggs,ll probably be tired and be a farmer

This is why its very important to cook you food to the proper temperature. This is the proper temperatures to cook food (at least in NYS)

Also don't think that washing the egg shell will protect you, the egg shell is porous, bacteria can get though and in to the yoke.

You think the farmers should shell out money if their eggs are bad?

These eggs could have been contaminated at the processing plant. The farmers might not have had anything to do with it.
