Health on Today has an article on how worried comsumers are turning to local farmers market to escape the 550 million egg recall that is continuing to grow across the US:
"People are realizing that it’s not the safest decision to buy eggs shipped from huge factory farms in the Midwest, where traceability and accountability is limited,” she said. “At the farmers’ market, you can shake the hand of the farmer who collected your egg that morning and I think that is much more reassuring.”
They also have
an interview with FDA Commissioner Dr. Margaret Hamburg in which she comments on the scope of the recall. From the transcript:
Well, it is the largest egg recall that we've had in recent history. We're continuing to investigate aggressively to determine the exact source of the contamination as we move forward with the recall. We may see some addition al recalls over the next couple days, even weeks, as we better understand the network of distribution of these eggs contaminated.
