[$$] Farm Linked to Egg Recall Had Rodent Problems, Report Finds
The North Carolina farm at the center of a large egg recall had ongoing problems with rodents along with other unsanitary conditions, according to a U.S. government report this week that has reignited concerns over food safety in an industry that has shrunk to a small number of producers. An inspection report by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said poultry houses at a facility owned by Rose Acre Farms, one of the largest U.S. egg producers, had prolonged rodent infestation. In addition, the report Tuesday said conditions in its egg-processing facility allow for pathogens to survive and spread. Rose Acre Farms, based in Seymour, Ind., voluntarily recalled nearly 207 million eggs on April 13, after more than 20 people reported salmonella illnesses that have been tied to the eggs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday launched an investigation into a salmonella outbreak that has spread to nine states.
