FDA warning about egg recall

The FDA advised consumers to:

• Toss recalled eggs or return them to the store for a refund.
• See a doctor if you think you are ill after eating recalled eggs.
• Keep eggs refrigerated at all times.
• Throw out cracked or dirty eggs.
• Wash hands, utensils and preparation surfaces with soap and water after contact with raw eggs.
• Cook eggs until both the white and the yolk are firm and eat promptly after cooking.
• The FDA also warned consumers not to keep eggs warm or at room temperature for more than two hours, and not to eat raw eggs or restaurant dishes made with raw, undercooked or unpasteurized eggs.
  Eating undercooked eggs should also be avoided, especially by young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems or debilitating illness, the agency added.
  Harmful bacteria such as salmonella are the most common cause of foodborne illnesses, according to federal health officials.
