288,000 eggs recalled due to salmonella

An Ohio egg farm has become implicated in an egg recall. The 2nd this year, the FDA ordered the recall. Cal-Maine foods is the supplier for these eggs. Ohio Fresh Eggs products these eggs to the distributor. Hillandale Farms and Wright County Egg both provided eggs from the egg recall earlier in 2010. Ohio Fresh Egg is partially owned by the very same person that has a stake in those 2 farms.

288,000 eggs in egg recall

The largest egg distributer within the United States of America is Cal-Maine foods. In eight states, eggs were recalled by this company. The states were listed. Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, California and Arkansas were all included. There were many egg brands impacted. These consist of Sunny Meadow, James Farm, Sun Valley and Springfield. You are able to discover the list of UPC codes included in the egg recall here. Nobody has gotten sick from eggs yet. The recall happened before this.

Egg recall connected to “habitual violator”

The Cal-Maine farm that gives eggs has been, within the past, talked to already. Ohio Fresh Eggs had to shut down since the investment of $126 million within the farm from Austin "Jack" DeCoster wasn't revealed in December 2006. Hillandale Farms and Wright County Egg had an egg recall earlier this year that made 1,600 individuals sick. DeCoster was part of that as well.

Salmonella causes egg recall

There isn't salmonella bacteria in most eggs. This is generally the case. Five microorganisms per egg of salmonella are found. This is just thinking about 1 in each and every 20,000 chicken eggs has salmonella in it. An individual will not get sick unless 100 microorganisms or more are in an egg. Avoiding salmonella isn't hard. It’s actually easy to do. Completely cooking eggs to a temperature of 160 degrees will kill any bacteria present. If you’ve 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.
