Report: Egg Farm Had 8 Foot Manure Pile and More…
It seems that rodents, piles of manure, uncaged birds and thousands of flies were found by investigators at Iowa farms implicated in the recall of more than half a billion eggs.
From CNN:
Inspection reports released by the FDA noted numerous violations at six farms operated by Wright County Egg and Quality Egg, which are owned by the same family, and three Hillandale Farms locations.
The inspections — conducted in August, after new egg safety rules went into effect — were launched in response to the nationwide outbreaks of salmonella that have sickened an estimated 1,470 people, according to the FDA.
Neither company fully adhered to their Salmonella enteritidis prevention plans, the inspectors said.

Just one of the MANY Food “Operations” across the Country who— although the Government is increasingly becoming aware and slowly taking steps to Crack-down— do not adhere to FDA Safety and Health Regulations.
In this day and age of monumental Meat, Poultry, and Dairy “Supply and Demand”, it WOULD make you Vomit if you knew what goes on— much less make you want to continue to Consume it. Very concerning.
