Thanks for posting the link to the list. We have company this weekend and we’re planning to make French toast for brunch. We checked our two cartons of eggs carefully. Both were ok.

I don't keep my eggs in the carton they came in, so wouldn't even know the name of the farm they came from.

Hi @CelticCrafter-

You can see the total list-they are sold under different brands-Walmarts, Great Value; Food Lion etc.It has the codes and things you should look for. I don't think they necessarily say the name of the farm, which I'd never heard of either.

Looks like 18 count from Walmart (their brand) are fine.

One of the best up-to-date websites for food recalls is probably the federal government's Food & Drug Administration.

The site does report the egg problem, as well as many others.

Anyone can sign up on the website to receive regular postings in their email about food safety. I used to get them, but stopped the emails because there were just too many of them!

I also want to thank the O/P for starting this thread. I brought my eggs from shoprite I do not have my carton so I can not check that. I saw nothing of this on TV news or in the newspapers and it should since its so widespread.

Went to the shore for a weekend getaway....had breakfast at a favorite spot.....Spent the rest of the day and night with stomach and abdominal pain.

Blamed it on the thin strips of bacon. This morning as I read this post, I realized it must ha e been the French toast! Still not quite right this AM.

thanks for the info.

There is also a problem with romaine lettuce again...I think it is the prewashed lettuce only at this point.I don’t know why this never seems to make the news anymore.I guess they will if someone dies.

@ms traditional Thank you for posting. I had just got a new dozen from Walmart and the Great Value one was on the list. I just threw them away. Not worth taking back to the store.

I have enough medical issues so you may have saved me another one.

Thanks again. I passed an email on to my family members.

Knowing the truth about the egg industry....this is no surprise at all. I just returned from a four day workshop with Will Tuttle, the author of the World Peace Diet. We discussed the reality of the dairy/poultry and meat industry. If you do the research, I doubt you would ever eat an egg. I haven't in many years.

@phoenixbrd Ugh. I realize people have to eat but it's disgusting where our food comes from-and right here in the USA.

I cringe at that Perdue 'free range chicken" commercial; they show about 7 chickens wandering around but in the background are the real structures. As though 7 chickens can account for all their products in all markets.

Please.

I just looked at a dozen large eggs I purchased last Wed. from Walmart (Great Value) and the code # matches the list I saw on line that a previous poster listed. This is the 2nd recall this week for me. I had purchased a romaine salad mix from Wegman's and romaine is being recalled. Thanks to all for the heads up. Much appreciated.

I wonder how many of the 203 million eggs will be returned. And if a vast majority are returned, what will be done with so many eggs?

I'm so thankful that I have several small local farms to buy my eggs from. You can see the chickens out in the pasture around the hen house. Though they are more expensive than store bought they are so good and worth it!

I re- looked on my 18 pack, and it has a different number (078742148397). I hope it's ok.

@ms traditional Thank you for your posting. Very considerate of you. As I have always said, " QVC posters are the best "!

I am careful where I buy my eggs also. We have a local grocery store that gets eggs delivered every morning from a local egg farm. They cost more but are worth it and we don't eat that many eggs anyway.
