Democracy Now: Mice, Maggots, Manure Found at Factory Egg Farms Linked to Salmonella Outbreak
Federal investigators have finally had a chance to inspect the factory egg farms in Iowa linked to the largest salmonella outbreak of its kind in the United States. Inside the henhouses, investigators found live mice, infestations of flies and maggots, and eight-foot-high piles of manure. FDA officials also found that water that had been used to wash eggs at one of the farms had been tested positive for salmonella.
