Egg recall: in case anyone was wondering (buyers, stores)

Press Release (http://www.heb.com/aboutHEB/media-PR-082010.jsp - broken link)

This would apply to Central Market as well (at least for most of their eggs).

Perhaps I'm misinterpreting your statement. Central Market and HEB is NOT included in the egg recall. What the press release says is:

August 20, 2010 – H-E-B is proud of our commitment to the highest standards of food safety. All egg products in H-E-B stores are safe to eat and are unaffected by the recall.

H-E-B buys the vast majority of our eggs from Texas. Our vendors have trace ability, and they have sent letters of verification that they are not impacted by the recall. Our buyers continue to work close with our vendors and follow the situation.

I thought that too when reading the thread earlier but I think it was just worded a little backwards. I assume twange meant that the press release applies to Central Market as well since it only mentions H-E-B, not that either of them are included in the recall.

Correct. Sorry for the confusion.
