As reported by Jacey Fortin in The New York Times, a large egg distribution farm in North Carolina has recalled over 206 million eggs due to potential salmonella contamination. The recall was initiated as a result of a joint effort investigation conducted by the FDA and CDC of at least 22 possible cases of salmonella across nine states. Owners of the egg farm have been compliant with the FDA in the recall, also citing no prior history of health or contamination issues with products until this point.
