Egg Regulation Proposal

former Gov. Chet Culver's called for state egg regulations to make sure there's no repeat of last summer's salmonella outbreak. Legislation drafted by Iowa's Department of Inspections and Appeals would require egg farms to notify the state any time the producer finds salmonella contamination around the hen houses or in the eggs. That goes beyond new FDA regulations imposed shortly after last summers egg mess. Culver's proposal is in the hands of Gov. Terry Branstad. The Iowa Egg Council says it's, open to discussing the proposals.
