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

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

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.

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

but say if someone deliberately infected eggs to make up prices on the market,or any employee has lost her job that she or he has eaten too many eggs or because you are allergic

You're correct, washing the shell won't help. At least that's what they're advising us here.

Or yolks, apparently. Amirite?

Albertsons, Farm Fresh, James Farms, Glenview, Mountain Dairy, Ralphs, Boomsma, Lund, Kemps and Pacific Coast. Eggs are packed in varying sizes of cartons (6-egg cartons, dozen egg cartons, 18-egg cartons, and loose eggs for institutional use and repackaging) with Julian dates ranging from 136 to 229 and plant numbers 1720 and 1942. Dates and codes can be found stamped on the end of the egg carton or printed on the case label. The plant number begins with the letter P and then the number. The Julian date follows the plant number, for example: P-1720 223."
