Due to contamination about half a billion eggs have been recalled in the US. Hillandale Farms in Iowa voluntarily withdrew about 170.4 million eggs from the market. Those eggs have been distributed to markets and companies in 14 states.
Wright County Egg of Galt, also situated in IA, recalled eggs already last week, amounting to a total of 380 recalled eggs. So far hundreds of Americans have been sickened by eggs contaminated with salmonella bacteria and the number is going to rise.
"We would certainly characterize this as one of the largest shell egg recalls in recent history," Sherri McGarry of the Food and Drug Administration said about the issue.
