Here is the link to the “200 Million Eggs Recalled Over Salmonella Concerns”

In one of the largest-ever recalls of eggs, Rose Acre Farms ordered 206 million eggs off of consumer shelves after health officials traced a salmonella outbreak to one of its farms in North Carolina. The product is the second major recall this year, with a separate warning out to consumers of romaine lettuce because of E. coli that has spread across seven states.

This year is the 25th anniversary of the “Jack in the Box” E. coli outbreak that spread across 73 stores, sickening over 700 people and contributing to four deaths. That outbreak changed how the U.S.D.A. and F.D.A. monitor food safety today and is part of the reason why the recent recalls of eggs and packaged lettuce can be seen as signs of regulatory success.

Ben Chapman, associate professor at North Carolina State University and co-host of the Food Safety Talk podcast, and Bill Marler, attorney specializing in food-borne illness, discuss the latest recall in the context of broader regulatory trends within the federal government.
