Millie, I had no idea either! I also question the ability to pasteurize the egg with mere water without cooking it. We know how easily an egg white sets.
The wax protection over the shell after the "pasteurization" is something that nature takes care of in the first place. Eggs have protective membrane when they are laid, which gets washed off in their pasteurization method. I have to wonder what is IN the dye of the circle P stamp as well. Is the wax protection meant to protect against the stamp dye as well??
An egg, gathered directly from the hen the day it was laid, has a refrigerated life of 3 months! How much longer do they need the eggs to last? (Makes you wonder how old those eggs at the store REALLY are) It is said that an egg ages 1 week for every day it is left at room temp., so maybe they are trying to make up for the time it took to pasteurize it?
Really makes you stop and think why our society needs this kind of reassurance.
I'm with you. I'll stick to eggs fresh from the hen and not hauled somewhere to do who-knows-what-with! I choose pastured. -

Marg,
Thank you for adding some great information. Don't you love how with the washing and pasteurizing that they have to re-do something that God did in the first place with the wax.
Michaela,
Yep, thats right. And I can't wait for my ladies to start laying either. Today they had two hours of unsupervised yard time. They even put themselves to bed like they were supposed too. -

Isn't that the cutest thing, aside from babies & kids, LOL. I got the opportunity to watch mine a couple nights ago, literally, as they marched up into the coop. Then I went to the window & watched as the climbed the roost, ruffled their feathers & hunkered themselves down for the night. I love watching the ladies. They are hilarious & intriguing & just plain COOL! The kids refer to them as TV without the commercials. Hey, I can dig that! :D

So I need to start pastuerizing my eggs to get you to keep buying them huh?? ;)
(They're nuts!)
With only 1 in 10,000 to 20,000 being infected anyways though who is going to prove that they aren't being "pasteurized?"
My stupid chicks have to be tossed in every night. One always gets it in their head to sit in the doorway and the others wont push it in so they go down the ramp and start sleeping beneath and I have to toss them in and shove and toss... -
