Seriously though! Recent investigations tracked the salmonella diseased eggs to two Iowa farms, Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms. It seems that the chicks that arrived at the farms were perfectly healthy so the contamination most likely occurred at the farms themselves. Officials say that the current total of 580 million eggs recalled will most likely not grow.
The recall effects eggs sold under the following brands: Lucerne, Albertson, Mountain Dairy, Ralph’s, Boomsma’s, Sunshine, Hillandale, Trafficanda, Farm Fresh, Shoreland, Lund, Dutch Farms, and Kemps. If you have eggs from any of these brands and are afraid you might be infected, check the codes stamped on the end of the carton. The plant numbers affected are P-1026, P-1413, and P-1946. The dates (recorded in the “Julian format”) range from 136 to 225, according to a statement by the Egg Safety Center.
On the bright side, a few brave folks at the Canyon Ranch Hotel & Spa decided to investigate further into this matter. Turns out the salmonella side effects are worse than we thought and may cause temporary egg talk. This disease manifests itself by replacing commonly used words with words like egg and it’s many uses. This is what was found in their report:
listen up everyone this is no yolk
there is an eggpidemic among us
when apoached with the dilemma
scientist brains were scrambled
one scientist – Dr Benedict omelette whites
said he sees no over easy way out of this
on the sunny side up of things
the disease has not hard boiled over into surrounding countries.
