On August 13th, the Food and Drug Administration announced the recall of 228 million eggs from three Wright County egg farms in Iowa. Then, last Friday the recall expanded to include all five Wright County egg farms and 360 million eggs. Now, the recall has expanded to include over 550 million eggs from all Wright County farms and Hillandale Farms after investigators realized the two farms use the same chicken and feed.
The initial recalls came after several cases of salmonella food poisoning in connection with the eggs and epidemiologic evidence of salmonella bacteria at the farms.
The recalled eggs were distributed from Wright County and Hillandale farms on May 16th. There have been 1,200 reported cases of salmonella food poisoning across the country. Cases of food poisoning have been clustered in Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Nevada, North Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin.

On August 6th, the USDA and the California-based Valley Meat Company announced a recall of over one million pounds of ground beef. The two decided on the recall after reports of E. coli containing products.
The affected products are mostly Valley Meat Company’s frozen ground beef produced between October 2009 and January 2010. Seven people have been affected by the products, all with the same strand of E. coli 0157:H7. The USDA warns consumers that the product could still be in their homes or grocery stores because it is frozen.
E. coli can be fatal to children, the elderly, and people with other health problems. The USDA is investigating what caused the E.coli to contaminate Valley Meat Company’s products.

Kellogg's company, under advisement by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, issued a voluntary recall of four of their cereal products on June 29, 2010.
The products being taken off store shelves are Kellogg's Froot Loops, Honey Smacks, Corn Pops, and Apple Jacks. Kellogg's became concerned after reports that the products had an uncharacteristic smell and flavor coming from the liner of the packaging. While Kellogg's believes any risk associated with these products is very small, they advise people who have purchased a product before June 29th to refrain from eating it.
Foster's Food Fair IGA stated, "Until further correspondence from the manufacturer on this affected product, moving forward, it will not be available".
