[$$] Farm Linked to Egg Recall Had Rodent Problems, Report Finds
The North Carolina farm at the center of a large egg recall had ongoing problems with rodents along with other unsanitary conditions, according to a U.S. government report this week that has reignited concerns over food safety in an industry that has shrunk to a small number of producers. An inspection report by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said poultry houses at a facility owned by Rose Acre Farms, one of the largest U.S. egg producers, had prolonged rodent infestation. In addition, the report Tuesday said conditions in its egg-processing facility allow for pathogens to survive and spread. Rose Acre Farms, based in Seymour, Ind., voluntarily recalled nearly 207 million eggs on April 13, after more than 20 people reported salmonella illnesses that have been tied to the eggs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday launched an investigation into a salmonella outbreak that has spread to nine states.

Walmart could buy controlling stake in Flipkart as early as next week - sources
Walmart Inc could seal a deal to buy a more than 51 percent stake in Indian online marketplace Flipkart as early as next week, two sources familiar with the matter said on Friday. The U.S. retail giant has been in talks with Flipkart for months to acquire a controlling stake in the firm as it looks to take on rival Amazon.com Inc head-on in India, a market where e-commerce is tipped to grow to $200 billion in a decade. SoftBank Group, which owns about a fifth of Flipkart through its Vision Fund, was unwilling to sell a part of its stake as Walmart was offering to buy existing shares at a valuation of $12 billion, a price the Japanese tech investor considered low, Reuters had previously reported.
