Tulsa businesses not having issues with egg recall, yet

TULSA - Tally's Cafe serves breakfast all day and all night. They go through 40 cases of 15 dozen eggs each week. When owner Tally Alane heard about the recall Wednesday, he says he called his supplier immediately.

"It's major, pretty much can shut you down when you're counting on 80 percent breakfast in this kind of establishment here definitely it's kind of a little bit scary," he says.

Fortunately, Alane's eggs did not come from a supplier that had tainted eggs. It is a huge concern for many as millions of eggs are being pulled off the shelves for a salmonella outbreak that's sickened hundreds. Gateway Market gets their eggs from a local supplier here in Tulsa.

"We've had a few customers come in and ask about it and we let em know that we don't have a recall on our eggs," says manager Lamont Rowland.

The store has also made several calls to make sure their products are safe for consumers. While no local grocer has reported being affected by the recall, officials at one local Food Pyramid says they could potentially have a problem if new supplies of eggs are shipped out of a Springfield, Missouri warehouse.

Back at Tally's Cafe, diners say they're not worried about a bad egg ending up on their plate. Middleton says whether it's eggs or something else, there's always going to be food recalls. He's not going to let that interfere with him enjoying a good meal.

"I've lived all my life eating what I want to eat when I want to eat, and I'm not gonna stop now," he says.

So far, there have been no reported illnesses here in the state from the eggs. Federal health officials say the outbreak is likely to grow-- as more illnesses are reported.
