In what seems like déjà-vu, an egg recall has become requested for an Ohio egg farm. Ohio Fresh Eggs supplied these tainted eggs to distributor Cal-Maine. Ohio Fresh Eggs is partly owned by the very same man that owns Hillandale Farms and Wright County Egg, both of whom had an egg recall earlier this year.
Egg recall affects 288,000 eggs
Eight states within the U.S. could be affected by the Cal-Maine foods egg recall, which is the largest egg distributer in the states. The states consist of AR, CA, IL, IA, KS, MO, OK, and TX. There were many egg brands impacted. These consist of Sunny Meadow, James Farm, Sun Valley and Springfield. A full list of UPC codes involved within the egg recall can be found here. No illnesses have yet been linked to this egg recall.
Egg recall “habitual violator” connection made
The Cal-Maine farm that gives eggs has been, within the past, talked to already. The Ohio Fresh Eggs farm shut down in December 2006. This took place because Austin "Jack" DeCoster invested $126 million to the farm and it was not reported. Hillandale Farms and Wright County Egg had an egg recall earlier this year that made 1,600 people sick. DeCoster was part of that as well.
Recalling eggs because of salmonella
Most eggs do not have salmonella bacteria in them. About 1 in each 20,000 chicken eggs contains a very small amount of salmonella — about five microorganisms per egg. A person will not get sick unless 100 microorganisms or more are in an egg. Avoiding salmonella isn't hard. It is really easy to do. Cook your eggs to 160 degrees. This will kill any bacteria there. If you have the opportunity, getting eggs from a supplier you know and trust to treat the hens well is also a very good idea, as dirty or overcrowded henhouses are often incubators for salmonella outbreaks.
