steve, is this common practice? we are to understand it s a very common practice. also with meat that s been recalled for various operations outbreaks, including salmonella, if you cook it to a temperature of 145 degrees, the eggs no longer have bacteria in them and can be repurposed for other. the whies county egg form say they thousands 2 million egg as week, that s an awful lot of eggs while they straighten out the operation there so right now they re going off to an egg cracker for crossing or pasturezation. jenna: who actually using the pasturized egg? a lot of ready to eat food companies will use this, ice cream, the carton dollars eggs that you get, egg beaters and others, will use these pasturized foods, cookie dough makers will use these products. they tried to find out which
of salmonella bacteria you have got to get a passturized eggs. these are eggs that have been through the pasturization process. they just dunk them in hot what officer. hotter than a jacuzzi. not as hot as the water in which you boil your eggs. these eggs are just like an egg you would eat at any given time. they go down this conveyer thing and they get put in the cartons. what you want to look for when you are in the grocery store to be certain you are getting a pasturized egg is that red stamp with a p on it. that insures your egg has been through the process where they heat it up enough to kill the bacteria, not enough to cook the egg. this company does about 85% of the pasturization in the shell business for the whole country. they increased their production by 2 million eggs a week.
