Two confirmed victims of a nationwide outbreak of food poisoning from salmonella-tainted eggs will testify today as Congress considers new food-safety legislation. Carol Lobato, 77, of Littleton, Colo., developed septic shock and nearly died in July from illness linked to a massive salmonella outbreak that led to a nationwide recall of a half billion eggs. She will be joined at the subcommittee hearing by Sarah Lewis, 30, a mother of two from Freedom, Calif., who was hospitalized twice in June after eating tainted egg custard at a May graduation ceremony. The women will join Austin “Jack” DeCoster, owner of Wright County Egg in Galt, and Orland Bethel, owner of Hillandale Farms of Iowa, based in New Hampton. The subcommittee, led by Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., will examine the outbreak that government health officials now say has sickened at least 1,608 people since May.
