Salmonella in your eggs? Not here in DK!

USA Today reports that 380 million eggs have been recalled due to a salmonella outbreak.  The article mentions Sweden and Denmark, countries that have worked on eliminating salmonella from poultry for the last 40 years.

Here's the link and my favorite quote of the piece:
It's a question of whether to keep the disease out or deal with it later via testing and pasteurization. Europe in general roots out the problem, the United States tends to look for post-harvest solutions, says Mogens Madsen, a food safety expert with the Technical University of Denmark.
