The recent voluntary national egg recall does not involve any product produced by Hickman’s Family Farms. The following is Glenn’s statement:
Remember, there are almost 300 million hens out there each producing about an egg a day. Billions of eggs are eaten around the world daily, and many people depend on them for their daily nutrition. Eggs contain the most digestible protein available in nature. I wouldn’t recommend eating raw eggs, raw pork, or drink un-pasteurized milk. In fact no one since Rocky Balboa has actually eaten a raw egg on purpose. Isn’t there even a warning on the carton and every menu in the country? You shouldn’t drink downstream from the herd, play in the street, or eat unwashed greens. Proper food preparation is everyone’s responsibility. It’s a shame if eggs disappear from anyone’s diet.
