Good to know. But now there are a lot of questions in my head that I should search to find their answers.

Can you contact the egg company and find out what, exactly, they’re feeding the chickens? Will you let us know when you find out?

We’ve since bought safer, cage-free eggs, but noticed the egg yolks are not that yellow. I wonder what sacrifices are being made on nutrition for the sake of safety?

The advantage of supporting local, family farm operations is that these farms are usually much, much smaller than factory farms. Disease outbreaks could be detected much sooner, and wouldn’t spread to so many eggs so fast.
Thanks for your comments.

But locally produced eggs, though they could also be contaminated at some point, would not become this widespread and have the potential to sicken so many people so quickly. Food for thought. Pun intended.

This means that it can be in organic or backyard hens. In fact if you look into it, the last egg recall was on organic eggs for salmonella. I’m all for buying local and organic but it really does not mean it is a safer product. The peanut butter producer from the recall a few years ago was USDA organic certified as well. I have been buying pasteurized eggs for recipes that require un or undercooked eggs and after this recall I will just use pasteurized eggs for everything.
