These bacteria can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, cramps, and fever. In otherwise healthy people, these symptoms generally last a couple of days and taper off within a week. But certain people, such as pregnant women, young children, older adults, and persons with weakened immune systems, are at greater risk for severe illness from <i>Salmonella<\/i>. In these individuals, a <i>Salmonella<\/i> infection may spread from the intestines to the bloodstream, and then to other parts of the body. In some cases, the infection can lead to death unless the person is treated promptly with antibiotics.<\/p>\n<p><b><u>Tips for Handling Eggs Safely<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Keep Clean<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The outside as well as the inside of eggs can be contaminated.<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Wash hands and all food contact surface areas (e.g., counter tops, utensils, dishes, and cutting boards) with soap and water after contact with raw eggs. <\/li>\n<li>Discard cracked or dirty eggs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Separate<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Never let raw eggs come into contact with food that will be eaten raw (or with utensils that could cross-contaminate other foods).<\/p>\n<p><b>Cook Eggs Thoroughly<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Cooking reduces the number of bacteria present in an egg; however, a lightly cooked egg with a runny egg white or yolk still poses a greater risk than a thoroughly cooked egg. Lightly cooked egg whites and yolks have both caused outbreaks of <i>Salmonella<\/i> infections.<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Cook eggs thoroughly until both the yolk and white are firm. For recipes containing eggs mixed with other foods, cook eggs to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). <\/li>\n<li>Eat eggs promptly after cooking. Do not keep eggs warm or at room temperature (between 40 degrees\u00a0to 140 degrees F) for more than 2 hours. <\/li>\n<li>For recipes that call for raw or lightly cooked eggs, consider using pasteurized shell eggs or pasteurized egg products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Refrigerate Eggs Promptly<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Keeping eggs adequately refrigerated prevents any <i>Salmonella<\/i> bacteria in or on the eggs from growing to higher numbers (which makes them more likely to cause illness).<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Buy eggs <i unselectable=\"on\">only<\/i> from stores that keep them refrigerated. <\/li>\n<li>At home, keep eggs refrigerated at 40 degrees F (4 degrees C) until they are needed. Use a refrigerator thermometer to be sure. <\/li>\n<li>Refrigerate unused eggs or leftovers that contain eggs promptly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Eating Out<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Avoid restaurant dishes made with raw or lightly cooked, unpasteurized eggs. When in a restaurant, ask if they use pasteurized eggs before ordering anything that might result in consumption of raw or lightly cooked eggs, such as Hollandaise sauce or Caesar salad dressing.<\/p>\n<p>Contact:\u00a0 Media:1-301-796-4540\u00a0 Consumers:1-888-SAFEFOOD (toll free)\u00a0<\/p>\n<div style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: left; WIDTH: 100%\" id=\"dvprnejpg692fleftMSAsset358497\" hostedurl=\"https:\/\/photos.prnewswire.com\/prnvar\/20150401\/196158\" assettitle=\"FDA Egg Billboard\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"prnejpg692fleftMSAsset358497\" title=\"Prevent food poisoning!
