Wright County Egg expands recall
Wright County Egg of Galt, Iowa is expanding its voluntary recall of specific Julian dates of shell eggs produced by their farms because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.
``This egg recall is not a fluke. It's just the latest example of how the consolidation of food production puts consumers at risk. This particular recall is about one production facility responsible for at least 380 million eggs under 17 different labels, but large egg facilities like this are commonplace. Ninety-five percent of all eggs come from facilities with 75,000 birds or more. Five states produce half of the nation's eggs-- Iowa , Ohio , Indiana , Pennsylvania and California . If something goes wrong in one of these areas, it has a negative impact on the entire country.
