Surprised the FDA didn't put the hammer down earlier... Then again, throw enough money at things and nobody will bother getting their hens dirty....

Amazing they've been allowed to stay in business...

"Howard Magwire of the United Egg Producers, a trade group, said the incidence of salmonella outbreaks in the country's egg industry, which produces 80 billion eggs a year, blah blah blah..."

The United Egg Producers? That must be a bitchin' logo. Five chickens locked wing in wing, blowing eggs in your face in organized unity.

Howard Magwire could have the coolest jacket patch of all time.

That's because it pays to just stay in business and pay whatever fines come up. If there was a policy of escalating fines, then companies like this one would be far less likely to continue offending.

Yes, but which came first?

Since you can't get a bad egg without a DeCoster, and a DeCoster can't come from a bad egg, I'd say the DeCoster.

FDA reports numerous violations at egg farms

The same thing happened with chicken farms. Shake the tree for the first time in, well, ever, and all sorts of crap comes falling out. It's funny how all the "rules and regulations" don't actually prevent the issues those in the business of making said laws insist they will prevent. Laws for the sake of laws. Hmmm, where have I heard that before?
