FDA to Begin Inspections of Factory Egg Farms
---------------------------------------------



The Food and Drug Administration is set to announce plans to start
inspecting factory egg farms following the massive recall of eggs tied
to an outbreak of salmonella in the Midwest. Most of the nation’s
largest egg farms have gone uninspected for decades. The new inspection
plan covers all egg farms that have 50,000 or more hens.
