Humane Farming to Prevent Salmonella Infected Eggs
More than a thousand Americans are ill from egg contaminated Salmonella and it has forced a recall of 1/2 billion eggs and increased scrutiny of the safety of eggs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have tracked the contaminated eggs to two Iowa facilities, one with over 1 million chickens. It turns out that less than 200 big companies supply 95% of the eggs in the United States.
