Chickens are vaccinated against salmonella (and a bunch of other things) when they are chicks in Europe. It means you don't need to worry about shitting yourself to death, the chickens are slightly happier by not being sick, and your eggs stay fresher for longer.

It would probably add $0.005 per egg, so US producers will claim it's communism if a regulation is brought in to vaccinate chicken, but it would be worth doing.

You mean you put 5G tracking devices in your chickens?

Really, though, getting poultry farmers to spend a penny per dozen eggs is like trying to squeeze water from a rock.

Yeah, it helps one find them if they run away

They've made a documentary about it back in the day: chicken run (2000) movie screenshot

They recently made a new one with up-to-date info on the security of those chickens

Fuckin finally. The tryna high road the Europe and shit like they don't have poor chicken treatment situations too. Its all down to vaccination requirements. They the treatment of chickens cause both places have issues lol

Refrigerating the eggs end to end costs money too, possibly more. I don't think it's about ongoing cost but rather upfront cost to switching.
