eggs recallIn what experts claim could very well be the largest egg recall in American history, the numbers continue to rise. The latest estimate of total recalled eggs sits at approximately 380,000,000. For those who have trouble comprehending this number, that would be enough eggs to feed every man, woman, and child in the United States 1 breakfast, plus have enough left over for 75 million of them to have a 2 egg omlet instead of 1.

Thus far 2,000 people have been sickened by the bad eggs, which have been tainted with salmonella. The eggs, primarily coming from the family-run egg farm, Wright County Eggs based in Galt, Iowa, have allegedly continued to be distributed even after the initial recall was issued. The Man behind the company, Jack DeCoster, has had a laundry list worth of legal troubles over the years. Having said this, his peers seem to speak highly of him. Decoster, 75, is a born again Baptist who has been the center of various investigations and fines, mostly stemming from sanitation and environmental issues on his farm.

If you think you have purchased any of the eggs, which were shipped nationwide and sold by Albertsons, Farm Fresh, James Farms, Glenview, Mountain Dairy, Ralphs, Boomsma, Lund, Kemps and Pacific Coast, immediately return them to your grocer for a full refund.
