Egg Kingpin Linked to Salmonella Scare Has History of Violations


Shown here is Austin "Jack" DeCoster. (Sun Journal)

The egg mogul linked to the widespread salmonella outbreak is considered by government officials a repeat offender, and the allegations and violations at his farms go far beyond sanitation to illegal immigration, unsafe workplace conditions and sexual abuse of female employees.

Though the recent recall is the first time conditions at his farms have drawn such heated and nationwide scrutiny, Austin "Jack" DeCoster has been cited for violations dating back at least to the early 1990s.

DeCoster has been a force in the egg world for decades, with companies and locations under various names operating in Maine, Iowa and elsewhere. His Wright County Egg is one of two Iowa farms directly linked to the salmonella scare, and his Quality Egg supplies chickens and feed to both farms involved.

DeCoster's farms have continued operating despite spending nearly two decades under the watchful eye of state and federal officials and facing lawsuits and millions of dollars in fines for other reasons.

DeCoster's farms started gaining national attention in late 1995, when a local newspaper in Maine wrote an expose about his farm conditions.

After months of protests and a federal investigation, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration fined him $3.6 million for workplace violations -- investigators claimed workers were handling dead chickens and manure with their bare hands, according to a newspaper report at the time. Their living quarters were comparably squalid.

Then-Labor Secretary Robert Reich said at the time the workers were being treated like animals and that the conditions were "among the worst" he'd seen. (1 image)

I'd jail the "egg king" in a coop for the rest of his life if I had my way.

After getting run from the state of Maine, DeCoster moved to Wright county, Iowa where the greased his way with the board of supervisors to allow him to build all his eggs plants there.

The last time I was up there, he still lived in a very nice, but modest, tract home on the outskirts of Clarion.

This AR facility is almost identical to the DeCoster plant that my brother and I toured. Amazing.
