Did someone think that putting "1.6 million dozen" in the headline actually makes the number somehow easier to comprehend? It's over 19 million.

It's Texas, someone in your neighborhood is probably trying to give them away.

Ive not seen HEB impacted by this, anyone else see their name mentioned anywhere?

paywalled lol

They can’t just say “over 19 million eggs” instead of “nearly 1.6 million dozen eggs”?

Especially when the article photo shows a carton of six eggs instead of a dozen?

When a company voluntarily takes its product from the shelf, you know it's a bad time. I would say it was maybe from a recommendation from the FDA, but they aren't what they used to be. So much winning.

This is a sign that the system is working, not a failure. It's a voluntary recall, meaning there is elevated risk - possible risk - but nobody's gotten sick. So this is to be safe and minimize the chances anyone does get sick.

This is how it's supposed to work.

Also, this is not that many eggs in the scope of things.

There are many many broken things in the US. This is not one of them.

So explosive diarrhea is not enough?

The price of eggs will now surely go down

So 19,074,924 eggs have been recalled.

1.6 million dozen doesn't even make sense. Why would they word it like that?

This may sound like a stupid question but don't all eggs have a Salmonella risk? That's the reason you're supposed to cook them no?

I get that they don't always get cooked, like I make homemade mayo with raw eggs all the time. But that's a chance I know I'm taking.

Why would these eggs need to be recalled instead of just saying "Make sure you cook these before consuming".

RFK Jr: "What a waste! You need to eat eggs raw, shell and all, to build up a tolerance to salmonella, just like nature intended. In fact, eggs are best consumed when you suck 'em straight out of the chicken. Just go to some of the caged egg farms! The chickens are right there! Pick 'em up and schloop! Instant MAHA!"

Texas produces ~557 Million Dozen eggs annually. So this represents .2% of all eggs produced in Texas. Not even news worthy tbh.

1.6 million 12 eggs.

Americans: Even when they just have to say an amount they will try to make it complicated, otherwise others might think they might be metric sympathizers.

Why dozen though. Could have said 925 great gross. Or is it because Americans think eggs always come in a box of 12?
