In Western PA MIGHT want to check your Eggs.

My wife has been reading the latest on the Egg Recall. One Brand on the List (my wife-- predicted this too me.) Was Hillendale Farms and they are claiming Ohio is in the recall (and 13 other states but she did not see PA listed). She looking and can't understand why Pa hasn't been added to the list.

The Hillendale Farms eggs we had in our Fridge said they where distrupted from Ohio. We live about 20 minutes from the Ohio border. We have the eggs recalled (Yes we threw them out.) and we bought them in PA (Just can't remember which store I picked them up at.)

3. Did you mean "yolk?"

There's nothing like a misspelled punchline.

[Parche]

2. Hillendale Farms should be shut down

It's owner should be fined and additional fines should be levied for every week he fails to comply with the new egg production regulations.

In the meantime, avoid ANYTHING produced by Hillendale Farms.

9. Hillendale is a small operation, compared with DeCoster, the origin of the first of the two recalls.

If you buy factory farmed eggs, you've been damaging rural communities and the environment, not to mention the suffering of the workers and animals. Oh, and those fines--your factory egg producers just figure them into their business expenses.

5. Do you have a link to the list?

We just bought eggs at Kroger because I thought they pulled all the bad ones off the shelves already.

6. They've likely been pulled

and even if they weren't, they're safe if you cook them. Scrambled eggs, quiche, cakes and muffins are on the menu. Caesar salad, home made mayonnaise and that egg cracked over hash are not. Fried and soft boiled eggs with runny yolks are in the iffy areas, probably not a good idea but you can likely get away with them if that yolk is over 140 degrees.

Unless you have your own chickens, it's best to assume all eggs and poultry are contaminated because of the commercial processes used, cramming laying hens and meat chickens together in their own waste ensures that any infection that gets in will spread like wildfire through the whole operation.

I've never been all that crazy about eggs, as such, although I use them in other stuff. I use powdered eggs, stable at room temperature, and undetectable in baked goods.

7. We made scones.

I think we're ok. Thanks!

10. Local, family farmed, free range chickens are not crammed in together.

I bought eggs just yesterday from a local farmer. I had to wait while driving up the lane for the chickens to get out of the way. See, they were actually outside. Still some risk of salmonella, but not like the factory farmed eggs on the recall list.

11. Right, I'll mooch an occasional egg from my next door neighbor

for a batch of homemade mayo. I don't trust commercial eggs.

8. Yikes, I live right on the PA/OH border too, and just bought eggs.

Not Hillendale, but that is a dominant egg company in this area. I have not heard this yet, and I just watched the news this evening. Just ticks me off.

Well, I will be cooking all eggs well well.

12. Here is the link to the latest news.

But my wife double checked our eggs this afternoon and when it said distrubed through Ohio and she saw nothing in the News warning residents of Western PA she got upset.


If you are on the border you know how things go back and forth so easily. Half the stuff from Pittsburgh the other half from Youngstown area...

[Curmudgeoness]

13. I absolutely know that W PA might as well be OH. But still

odd it was not on the news (unless I just zoned out for it), since all the news I get is Youngstown. Pisses me off. Last I heard, it was in Western US.
