News...    sponsored by      This Aug. 20 file photo shows Wright Egg facilities near Galt, Iowa. Spokeswomen for Wright Egg Farms and Hillandale Farms, at the heart of a massive egg recall, said their hens are still laying several million eggs a day. Those eggs are being sent to facilities where their shells are broken and the contents pasteurized to rid them of any salmonella. Then they can be sold as liquid eggs or added to other products. Food processors buy eggs that have been removed from their shells to make mayonnaise, ice cream, omelet mixes and other products. AP file photo by Nirmalnedu Majumdar
