I'm a big egg eater.. I'll have to watch out myself..

Eggs are so good any time of the day I think. Breakfast of course but even an egg sandwich for lunch or Topsy turvy dinner or even late night. Of course eggs are used in so much baking too. Hope they clear this all up soon.

Of course, it's bad enough people are getting sick off eggs but now they are even going to cost more for awhile. Can't win.




Egg prices jump with news of salmonella threat

Egg prices for wholesalers have gone up an average of 18 cents a dozen since Monday, when word of a salmonella outbreak began to spread.
And the outbreak that has sickened hundreds and led to the recall of 380 million eggs from an Iowa producer likely will grow, federal health officials said Thursday.
That's because illnesses occurring after mid-July may not be reported yet, said Christopher Braden, an epidemiologist with the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

I was at the Grocery Store today and I really needed to buy eggs but I just could not bring myself to purchase any. I'm sure all the 'bad' eggs have been pulled ... but how do we really know for sure? They say it could take months before they are sure.

So...I'm thinking, maybe I should check out fresh eggs but how do you know where a good place is to purchase 'fresh' eggs?

I'm sure there are some around Kenosha County. Does anyone on here buy fresh eggs in this area?

UPDATE:


FDA: No evidence yet that millions of eggs tainted by salmonella extend beyond 2 Iowa farms


WASHINGTON (AP) -- Food and Drug Administration officials said Monday that there is no evidence a massive outbreak of salmonella in eggs has spread beyond two Iowa farms, though a team of investigators is still trying to figure out what caused it.
FDA officials said they do not expect the number of eggs recalled - 550 million - to grow.

Since we had this recall I started buying PHIL'S FRESH EGGS at our local grocery store. We never tried this brand before but we certainly are glad we did. The first time I made them, my son that usually doesn't care much for eggs said, hey Mom, these are the best eggs. Well for a compliment like that I made sure I bought them again and again and hopefully will continue to do so.
