I believe that by now everyone has heard about the Salmonella outbreak due to tainted eggs.Now they have finally traced it to the food the chickens were fed. I happened to have purchased a dozen eggs last week of the tainted brand the day before the press told the public. I bought them back and noticed that they were still selling the eggs. I told them, and showed them the press release. They told me ""The home office said they were ok"" I told her good, then send the dozen I bought back to them and let them have for breakfast. It seems strange that the USDA has not passed a law that all chickens should be innoculated against Salmonella. In England this has been the practice for a year and hardly any Salmonella outbreaks. It cost approx 1 cent per dozen to give us safer birds. Guess it don't matter because any of the eggs that are proven questionable are pasteurized as a liquid and sold to manufacturers for use in other foods like salad dressings and mayo.. What makes me mad is that the state health depts. check food service facilities for everything yet the feds permit this. '''' Check everything folks ''''' Only in America
