“Avamere Court at Keizer December of 2007, our Residential Care and Independent living buildings had reported individual cases of salmonella and were hospitalized. Avamere Court at Keizer is a large healthcare campus and we have a skilled building and LTC/memory care as well. We have a central kitchen for all buildings, so food is kept in the same storage areas, and we use one central freezer and walk in. Since both residents were hospitalized and they both had one common denominator our kitchen, the health department was notified and they came to inspect our kitchen. All I can say is thank goodness for Davidson’s pasteurized eggs, I had just recently started buying your Davidson’s Pasteurized Shell Eggs on December 1, 2007. When the health inspector came in he looked in my reach in and in the walk in when he saw that the shell eggs were pasteurized, he said that we were not the problem, congratulated us on using your pasteurized eggs and left, he spent maybe five minutes total in my kitchen. They found out later that the contamination came from a local restaurant that they had both eaten at.  I tell everyone about Davidson’s pasteurized shell eggs and since I am the president of the Oregon Dietary Managers Association I recommend Davidson’s pasteurized eggs to all our members. I love your product and as long as it’s available you will have me as a loyal customer.”

"In our discussions with residents, they often ask us to offer more egg options, such as those prepared poached or sunny side up. We are pleased to honor this request and provide residents with even more choice -- one of the hallmarks of Sunrise's leading senior living services."
