Egg Recall
Thankfully, we have chosen to purchase organic milk and eggs since watching the movie, Food Inc. Many are having to check their egg cartons to see if they fall into the category of recalled eggs.
You can check to see if your eggs are the ones on the list by going to Food Safety. I garnered the following information from that website.
Dates and codes can be found stamped on the end of the egg carton or printed on the case label. However, not all affected brands will be printed in the same order. Typically, the plant number begins with the letter P and then the number. In most cases the Julian date follows the plant number, for example: P-1720 223. If your carton has a combination of numbers that matches the affected plant number AND Julian date, your eggs are affected in the recall. Using the example above, P-1720 223 may appear on some cartons as 223 #1720, 1720 223 or other variations. It is important to note that both the plant number and Julian date must match. If the Julian date does not match the affected plant number than your eggs are not involved in the recall.
You may want to visit the website to learn more about this recall and what you can do to be safe.

Organic is the safest choice, it’s healthier for the entire family, especially children. I’ve read that organic food contains 50% more nutrients than the mass produced foods. Everyone should be extra careful about the food they are eating. Thanks for the info!

We have used about half the eggs in our cartons; though we did hard boil them to use in making tuna salad. Does that make a difference? I’m not sure I’d be able to see any numbers to know if they’re in the recall group or not.
Hope people stay healthy.

I’m glad you wrote about this – went and checked our eggs…they’re fine!
I’d like to see the movie you mentioned, Food Inc. I have a book called The Organic Food Shopper’s Guide by Jeff Cox that is really an eye-opener!
