The owner of one of two Iowa egg farms linked to as many as 1,600 salmonella illnesses is citing the Fifth Amendment in declining to testify at a House hearing on the outbreak.
The CEO of Hillandale Farms, Orland Bethel, wouldn’t answer questions from the House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on investigations.
The owner of the other farm, Austin “Jack” DeCoster, has told Congress that he was horrified that his products may have sickened so many people.
The two companies together recalled more than a half-billion eggs in August.
