The North Carolina egg farm authorities believe is the source of a recent salmonella outbreak — which has so far sickened people across nine states — has had an “ongoing rodent infestation” since at least September 2017.That dates back months before Rose Acre Farms, one of the biggest egg producers in the country, recalled nearly 207 million eggs they feared could have been contaminated with Salmonella.Insects buzzed about the chicken feed and throughout the company’s North Carolina facility, which also housed dozens of rats. Inspectors discovered the bodies of dead rodents while other rats were spotted “burrowing in and out of manure piles,” according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Report.The “unacceptable rodent” activity had been going on months before the first signs of the salmonella outbreak surfaced.RELATED: Biggest food safety mistakes you’re making at the grocery store 7 PHOTOS Biggest food safety mistakes you’re making at the grocery store See Gallery Biggest food safety mistakes you’re making at the grocery store No. 1: WIPE DOWN SHOPPING CART According to Peter, the first thing you should do when you walk into a supermarket is wipe down your cart. “You don’t know how often these carts get cleaned,” Peter says.
