FDA officials said they do not expect the number of eggs recalled — 550 million — to grow.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was at the session to unveil a new State Department initiative on food security.

As he introduced her, the former president was effusive in his praise for his wife, saying that her approach to food security — helping farmers around the world grow their own food to earn income and alleviate poverty — was much smarter than the decades-long policy of simply giving humanitarian aid and food to countries.
