U.S.: Egg-beaters: Salmonella cases way up since egg outbreak started

  • 1,953 cases of egged-on salmonella from May to July
  • 700 the normal number of cases during a period like that source
  • » Also good to note: It sounds like a lot of eggs, but based on the 6.5 billion eggs delivered in April, if similar amounts were shipped between May and right now, that 380 million would account for around 1.6 percent of the total shipments in the last three and a half months. It’s bad, but much less bad than one would think.
