228M eggs recalled following salmonella outbreak

WASHINGTON An Iowa egg producer is recalling 228 million eggs after being linked to an outbreak of salmonella poisoning.

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said eggs from Wright County Egg in Galt, Iowa, were linked to several illnesses in Colorado, California and Minnesota. The CDC said about 200 cases of the strain of salmonella linked to the eggs were reported weekly during June and July, four times the normal number of such occurrences.

State health officials say tainted eggs have sickened at least 266 Californians and seven in Minnesota.

The eggs were distributed around the country and packaged under the names Lucerne, Albertson, Mountain Dairy, Ralph's, Boomsma's, Sunshine, Hillandale, Trafficanda, Farm Fresh, Shoreland, Lund, Dutch Farms and Kemp.

Guess who made birthday cupcakes in honor of her newly 8 yr old DD and her entire cheer squad....and then proceeded to make an egg wash for the birthday girl's dinner of chicken *fingers* that was served to the whole family, plus a friend, plus grandma....with those recalled eggs?

Go ahead, guess.

:th

Ok, nevermind.

I check the codes and mine were fine. I guess that is what I get for not having chickens and for not at least buying organic. I was being cheap and look what it got me, a good scare! :barnie
