No eggs here in Colorado either for similar infection reasons
Makes you wonder if the feds shouldn't just shut down the massive cage operations and force every producer to raise free range only. 🤔
Or require vaccination. There is a vaccine against salmonella.
If you read the article the recall includes cage free and “organic”eggs
Cage-free just means they're packed into barns instead of cages. (I know this because I worked on a farm like this).
Organic means they haven't been fed growth hormones or antibiotics.
Free range means they're outdoors eating seeds like grandpa's farm chickens do. Outdoor chickens tend to be healthier (for obvious reasons) and virus/bacterial infection rates are much lower for the same reason.
And that's only if your area has actual regulations on what free range even means.
For reference, here in Australia:
That is awful! I buy a brand that has 40 per hectare, they have portable sheds that gets rotated across the property, and the hens get guard dogs to protect them as they roam.
I gotta be honest here ... I used to only buy free range but since I can't work anymore, and my fixed income is barely making it, I've had to go back to regular eggs ... especially with meat being so gd expensive.
I hate having to do that but I have no other options now. I wish our gov'ts would clamp down on capitalism and grocery pricing like they should be doing.
