I went to the Walmart and they knew about the recall. I went to the shelf and checked out some lot numbers. THEY WERE STILL SELLING EGGS ON THE LIST!!
The manager said corporate provided him a list. I showed him the list directly from the FDA site. He was extremely grateful and ran over to the dairy section and took them off himself.
One guy that I saw take eggs before I checked out the lot number, but disappeared into the store, doubled back. He saw the commotion and asked what was going on. He feels like he dodged a bullet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I once couldn’t win a door prize where they had 20 prizes and only 14 people in the room. The guy kept dropping the door prize ticket back in the fish bowl because he realized he had more prizes than tickets and was “confident” everyone in the room would get a prize.
Guess who didn’t.
But I won this one! Right in my fridge – recalled eggs.
Woo hoo! What do I win?
Newser-
A farm in Seymour, Indiana, is recalling over 200 million eggs amid an FDA report that 22 people have been sickened. The eggs have reached restaurants and retail stores in West Virginia, Virginia, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, New York, New Jersey, Florida, and Colorado under brand names Great Value, Glenview, Sunshine Farms, Coburn Farms, Crystal Farms, County DayBreak, as well as Food Lion and Walmart stores. It’s the biggest US egg recall since 2010.
Read this elsewhere, checked my new eggs from Walmart, and for a moment thought we had a winning lottery number. False alarm.
Any lone wolf saboteur — jihadi or otherwise— could wreak a lot of havoc by poisoning our food supply chain.
Have you eaten any?
Huevos rauncheros, anyone?
“…which produces 2.3 million eggs a day.”
That’s a lot of eggs.
“The facility includes 3 million laying hens…”
That’s a lot of crap…
Jethro, so you think this whole thing is chicken shit?
You actually need to eat the eggs and get sick to win the prize.
So how many lone wolf saboteurs and jihadis live in Seymour, Indiana?
200,000,000 Million eggs is a good distribution covering how many states?
How many food processing plants does China own in the US now?
Does their distribution cover the entire US?
Asking for my buddy mohammad.
Thanks BFH for posting this. I just checked and the eggs I got last week are part of the recall. I haven’t seen anything on the news about this.
It pays to come to the site ! 🙂
I know none of mine are recalled eggs, because I can’t remember whether I’ve eaten any of them or not.
I won a car once, but you had to be present to win. Damn.
Apology in advance and it is well below your readers’ standard. But it is not below my standards.
THE YOLK’S ON YOU!!!!
Nothing out west- so far.
I think you’re safe if the ones you bought are from Costco, is what I hear.
We roll our own here..
Fur,
The yolks on you
Ugh. The poor people who found out the hard way.
@Brad
My family raised chickens when I was a kid. In a farm environment they end up with crap all over them if they are layed in a nest. You have to wash them by hand. In these egg factories the eggs roll out from under the hen on a tapered floor and onto a conveyor system. They are washed automatically on the way to the packing area.

The worst smelling place I’ve ever visited was a dairy farm. Holy Crap.
Most of the tasks on farms are now automated. Kinda negates the argument for illegal aliens and farm labor.
@Brad
You get numb to it after a while – except chicken crap.
Rose Acres farms, I know them well, Sad!
My eggs are fine thank you. The girls are laying like mad. The Grey Tolouse eggs are mighty fine, and the Maran eggs, though smaller, are very tasty. James Bond would approve!
I just remembered. I went to the store last night and the racks were bare of lettuce. Apparently there’s a big recall on Romain lettuce too. I think it’s the Russians striking back.

It is a poorly-timed conspiracy to murder Christians celebrating Easter with tainted painted hard-boiled eggs.
Lucky me! I have 2 18 ct. cartons in my refrigerator.
He’s a NWO plant plain and simple. Not a Christian, more likely an anti-Christ type.
Bad_Brad- oh so it must be nation wide. I heard about it the other day.
Some fast food places stopped serving salad.

Off topic?
As a kid I used to go out to the farm when they butchered the hens that weren’t producing good enough and fill a couple of gallon glass jars with the chicken guts. Let that sit in the summer sun for a few days and you had some of the best catfish bait going. Just don’t sit downwind when baiting the set-line. Couldn’t even get to the end of the line before you had fish at the beginning sets.
Anymouse hands down, thrown out raw chicken is the worst smell in the garbage. I avoid cutting up chicken til the night before trash is picked up in case I have scraps. ugh!
Send the eggs and Romaine lettuce to the Tohono O’odham Nation.
Well,I just checked my Food Lion brand and I won the lottery plus the power ball…I had 3 eggs for breakfast. If anything happens…AVENGE ME!
I wonder if I can got to the Krystal and have a few gut bombs to counter act the eggs?
Damn, Mac! We’ll pray for you. Clear a path to the toilet! 🙂
If you have anything, you’ll know by late tonight.
I’ve eaten the eggs on the list for over a week before recall was announced. No emergency room visit needed – God forbid. Prayer is a powerful thing.
Thanks MJA, the only thing that really worries me is that I gave the left over scrambled eggs to my little doggies. I hope they will be ok. Hopefully I cooked them long enough to kill off any bad stuff.
I have 4 or 5 eggs left from a carton of 18. If I haven’t gotten sick by now, I don’t think I’m going to…THUD
BFH has shown eggstrordinary civic duty and the Walmart customers shell be forever grateful.
Bought my 18 pack at Harris Teeter. Must be a different provider, they’re not included.
I have the extra large eggs from WalMart. Used them in baking and no problems. Even hard boiled some the other day. I still have a dozen left. California isn’t on the list.
Omelet you all make all the yolks here. Hope nobody needs to suddenly scramble to the bathroom, or that they will be carton you off to the hospital. Soon this scare will be over. Easy to see that these eggs are produced by shell corporations. Keep on the sunny side.
Update. We DO have recalled eggs (Walmart, Great Value Large 12) after all.
We’ve eaten 2 of the 12 yesterday. No ill effects so far.
I’ve lived in Africa and eaten local food all over the Third World. Eggs are kid’s stuff.
@Fur, many thanks for posting the screenshot.
I’ll make a special stop by the Walmart tomorrow to alert them.
Meanwhile there are ambulance chasers all over the USA filing Class Action suits as soon as the courthouse doors open tomorrow.
Save those egg cartons with the recalled numbers, friends. I expect they’ll be worth a year’s free eggs, or some such.
@cato: I think John Mellonhead lives in Seymour…
A particular peanut butter was recalled in the late 90’s to early 2000s. I looked at the number of my almost empty PB and sure enough, it was a recalled one. Shrug. If I hadn’t had any problems by that time, why throw it out then?

I notice you buy mediums too. The least stocked egg size around here.
