A consumer warning to avoid eating eggs from Daizen Farms of Burlington, Washington, has been issued by the state Agriculture Department. As reported by Scott Sunde at the Seattle PI, the warning comes following a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection that found egg-laying hens at the farm had been eating feed contaminated with rodent feces. Further, recent testing on the feed confirmed it was positive for the presence of Salmonella, a dangerous pathogen, thereby increasing the liklihood that the hens are also contaminated with Salmonella.
