They should apologize - properly!
by Barbora Misakova

Where did all the politeness disappear? If I had a farm with chicken whose eggs might have been the cause of the 1,600 salmonella illnesses, I would stand up and apologize! I would try to look in peoples’ eyes and tell them honestly that “I am sorry.” But as it seems some people who are “hard of hearing” are using it as an apology for their inability to apologize politely. Austin “Jack” DeCoster, the owner of Wright Country Egg said he was “horrified” when he learned that his products have probably caused the illnesses. “We were horrified to learn that our eggs may have made people sick. We apologize to everyone wh! o may have been sickened by eating our eggs. I pray several times each day for all of them and for their improved health.” DeCoster said in the statement he read to the subcommittee. But I am asking, where are the times when apology was meant seriously and when it was also made in that way? Tests of the eggs from two accused chicken farms - Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms has shown that products are positive for the bacterium Salmonella enteritidis, the strain responsible for the recent outbreak. Members of the subcommittee also showed photos of hen houses at these two farms, which were full of dead chickens, insects and piles of manure. While Peter DeCoster claims the FDA inspected the company’s feed mill in May and found no deficiencies, the FDA’s deputy commissioner said that the agency has no records of that inspection. This is the largest outbreak of this strain of salmonella since the late 1970s. No deaths have been reported so far.
