The UK compares quite favourably to the US when it comes to salmonella infections from eggs. According to Wikipedia, "142,000 people in the United States are infected each year with Salmonella Enteritidis from chicken eggs". The number in the UK is a few dozen. That's a substantial difference per capita. Calling it a "large" salmonella outbreak is definitely glass houses.

I feel that some of the "tu quoque" responses to GP are fuelled by US nationalism.

Or just fueled by the relatively constant stream of smug "here is yet another reason Europe is better than the US" posts from people who frequently turn out to be speaking from a position of ignorance. There is plenty of nationalism to go around, and it gets tiring.

Calling 200+ infections "a few dozen" seems intentionally misleading. And that was just with a single outbreak in November. Whose cause is still not known.

The US doesn't require vaccination of chickens for salmonella, never mind that it is basically free.
