Free Lists of Recent Egg Recalls- Are you affected?
See a whole list of recalls online!
The economy has gotten us all down, even large companies, like manufacturing, construction, even companies like egg companies! The economy forces the companies to lay off workers, even critical workers such as security inspectors! This is most likely the cause behind the massive 228 million egg recall by Wright County Egg in Galt, Iowa, recall. The eggs may have been distributed from Iowa, but consumers around the States have reported recalls in their area. For instance, we’ve even received several reports of incidents from Washington!
Salmonella is a very dangerous disease, and can cause a lot of trouble if not treated soon. Salmonella can actually survive for weeks while living out of a living body. It can be transferred through animals, humans, and even food.
The eggs were shipped to 17 different states, total. Those states include: California, Arizona, Missouri, Minnesota, Texas, Georgia, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Nevada, Iowa, Illinois, Utah, Nebraska, Arkansas, Wisconsin and Oklahoma.
So far, the Salmonella outbreak has only affected people on four different states, but health officials believe there will be a lot more outbreaks.
Leading the amount of most illnesses, is California with 266 illnesses since June. The state believes that most of them had to do with the tainted eggs. 26 people were infected at one diner Wisconsin. One of the diners who got sick has filed a lawsuit, no word on how that lawsuit is faring.
Salmonella is the most common form of food poisoning, and is 20% of all the food outbreaks worldwide. You should watch for these symptoms if you believe you may have eaten the infected eggs:
Watery Diarrhea (sometimes bloody)
Fever
Cramping Abdominal Pain
Vomiting
If you have any of these symptoms, you should go see your pediatrician right away, as it is better to know about it early, so it can be treated.
We all hope now that the egg companies have learned a lesson, and will take more caution in their practices worldwide.
