Every so often we hear about new recalls on eggs produced at a given farm. This week there has been a recall on eggs coming from Wright Country Egg located in Galt, Iowa. There have been 13 brand name companies who may have sold these eggs which include: Lucerne, Albertson, Mountain Dairy, Ralph’s, Boomsma’s, Sunshine, Hillandale, Trafficanda, Kemps, Shoreland, Lund, Dutch Farms and Farm Fresh. The recall has been prompted due to reports that the eggs may contain salmonella which is a bacteria which can cause vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea in those with a proper functioning immune system, however can cause death in the elderly, toddlers, and people with suppressed immunities.

Anyone who may have purchased eggs coming from the Wright County Egg Farm may return them to the store for a full refund. It has been predicted that approximately 1 in 20,000 eggs purchased at supermarkets contain salmonella poisoning. however this batch of eggs have a much higher chance of causing illness because they have been shown to have a higher rate of salmonella.
