WASHINGTON – FDA investigators have found rodents, manure and even maggots at the Iowa egg farms believed to be responsible for around 1,500 cases of salmonella poisoning. Officials released their initial observations of the ongoing investigations at Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms on Monday. The two farms recalled over half a billion eggs after salmonella cases were linked to their products.
FDA reports show numerous violations at both farms, including rodent, bug and wild bird infestation, uncontained manure, holes in walls, and other problems that could have caused the outbreak. Several positive samples of salmonella have been found at both farms.
