  plus the original articles are saying to look for farm/plant/warehouse P1065 on the side of your carton, the upc may match but if the farm number and day of production do not match, your eggs should be fine—-too many people are seeing the matching upc and freaking out, all the upcs are the same so that the price scans right at the register but the eggs onlinee from different farms and have different production days

  This was so much more helpful than the email Walmart sent me. They just said their records showed I bought eggs with a particular UPC and told me to stop eating them and bring them in for a refund. It didn’t include any info about the plant no. or date. I just checked mine, and mine aren’t affected. Thanks for the additional info. So glad I don’t have to make an unnecessary trip.

   I wonder how they got contaminated. I get my eggs from my own chickens. I just want to share that the in expensive white eggs onlinee from chickens kept in cages. Cage free eggs mean the chickens are kept in a great big barn with no individual cages, free range chickens have access to the outdoors. Also caged chickens are often fed arsenic to make the shells easier to crack. I’m not a solo orgainc eater but I do pay slightly more for better eggs and bananas. (the cost to upgrade to organic banas is very little).

  Hi there, Can I ask why you pay extra for organic bananas? I thought that with such a thick skin, the part we eat would be protected from pesticides. I do try to buy some organic produce, but because of the cost I try to prioritize, starting with the “dirty dozen.” Thanks 🙂

  Bananas are heavily treated with chemicals and organic bananas are only .15 more per pound then the regular non organic so the extra cost is not much.

  Chickens aren’t fed arsenic anymore – that stopped a couple of years back (at least in North America), and it was done to kill parasites in the feed. I used to buy cage free when I had more expendable inonlinee, but the cost is just too much. Just checked my Walmart grocery app: $.62 for a dozen of regular eggs, $2.98-3.47 for cage free. I usually buy 36 eggs every grocery trip as I cook and bake a lot.

  “Cage-free” and “free range” aren’t regulated though. So in reality, cage-free chickens are kept in multi-level aviaries indoors, which is barely an improvement from actual cages. And access to the outdoors doesn’t mean that the chickens actually get to go outdoors. From what I have read, we ideally should be buying pasture-raised chickens from farmers that we know or trust- so as to ensure that they treat their animals ethically, since even pasture-raised birds can be treated inhumanely. Hope that helps.

  Im’ confused you say -“I get my eggs from my own chickens ” I get that part but then you say you ” I do pay slightly more for better eggs and bananas. So if you have your own chickens why do you buy BETTER eggs?

   That’s so mean to treat an animal that way😣 it doesn’t matter what kind of animal, it should never be kept in a cage. I’ll pay more so the chicken can run free and go outside.

   Luckily salmonella is killed by the cooking process so IF you fully cook your eggs AND if you wash your hands after touching the shells before you touch anything else, you should be fine – even if you ate these eggs.

   Now the lettuce recall on the other hand … yikes

    The affected eggs, from plant number P-1065 with the Julian date range of 011 through date of 102. NOT all farms

    Speaking of eggs, I just bought an 18 pack of large eggs at Walmart and they are all no larger then medium size.

    I noticed the difference immediately when I opened them and they looked so tiny in their divider cups.

    Anyone else experience this?

    Didn’t see ant recall on Sams Club eggs (they are Walmart sister store). I have some boiled eggs & I threw the carton away… wondering if I should just toss them…?

    This is a onlinement for anyone who makes assumptions on how the poultry industry works, unless you own and operate a facility (such as myself) it is likely you don’t fully understand the process. My cage-free layer barn is highly regulated and both the birds and eggs are tested regularly. Just because I have 40,000 chickens doesn’t mean I don’t care about each and every one of them, they are my inonlinee so it’s in my best interest to treat them the best that I can.

  The short answer is Yes. My barn is nothing like described in that article. But the internet is a great thing and will tell you anything you want to hear.

  That doesn’t really clarify anything, but okay. It’s great that you treat your animals humanely but you can’t assume that everyone raising chickens does.

    I’m so glad we have our own chickens. I’ve been to our local Fred meyer and seen a lady pulling eggs from other cartons and putting them in a different carton. Well what if it has a different date, different brand altogether?
