Egg eaters have two new brand names to search for in their refrigerators Thursday because of the nationwide salmonella scare sparked by egg recalls.

Wright County Egg, the company responsible for 380 million of the 550 million recalled eggs, said in a press release Wednesday night that it had confirmed cases of Salmonella enteritidis illnesses related to shell eggs bearing the Cardenas Market brand and Cardenas Market was beginning a voluntary recall.

The statement said affected eggs were distributed to Cardenas Market stores in California and Nevada, packaged in 60-egg cases over-wrapped with plastic. Although the Cardenas Market label wasn't named in Wright County's original August 13 recall announcement, Cardenas was immediately notified at the time of the original recall, and product in distribution or in stores has been quarantined, returned or destroyed, Wright County said.

Eggs included in the recall are labeled with plant number 1026 and Julian dates ranging from 136 to 228.

1. I am quite grateful

I am grateful that my "egg brand" of choice is "lady that brings eggs from her nearby farm to the farmer's market". At little more expensive, but these big operations that house chickens in torturous, unsanitary cages appear to be more likely to produce tainted products than the local farmers whose chickens run around and peck at bugs.

4. We buy only organic cage-free eggs. No need to check our fridge. nt

2. We have been betrayed by many

other things, why not eggs?

3. Considering I only have 4 left out of the last dozen I bought

It's a little late to panic now.

5. I have no eggs in my fridge

I love eggs but do not frequent them. I also like my yolk runny so........ I guess I won't be eating eggs again.

8. ^ BEST ADVICE. Even more specific: buy from your own state

I've been reading up on this DeCoster character. When my state (Maryland) quarantined his contaminated product, we were able to keep him from selling in Maryland, but since Maryland has no authority to regulate inter-state commerce, we couldn't stop him from selling what we KNEW to be contaminated to other states (which he did). Fortunately, he no longer found it satisfying to have an egg factory in Maryland and focused on his Iowa factories.

I have strengthened my resolve to not only buy local, but to buy food grown in my own state.
