Iowa
Department
of Public Health Offers Egg Safety Tips
Posted 20 August 2010
The Iowa Department
of Public Health (IDPH), along with state and federal regulatory
partners, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and
several state health departments, is participating in the investigation
of Salmonella Enteriditis (SE) illnesses associated with the FDA recall
of Wright County Eggs.
To date, no illnesses in Iowa have been directly linked to the egg
recall; however, last year in Iowa, SE caused 84 cases of illness and
so far in 2010, 86 cases of SE illness have been identified in Iowa.
Eggs can be contaminated with SE, but are safe when properly handled.
To reduce the risk of SE illness, you should:
Keep eggs
refrigerated at all times.
Discard cracked or
dirty eggs.
Wash hands, cooking
utensils, and food preparation surfaces with soap and water after
contact with raw eggs.
Eggs should be cooked
until both the white and the yolk are firm and eaten promptly after
cooking. Do not keep eggs warm or at room temperature for more than two
hours.
Refrigerate unused or
leftover egg-containing foods promptly.
Avoid eating raw eggs.
If you believe you may have unknowingly eaten eggs that were included
in the FDA recall, you should not be concerned about illness as long as
the eggs were cooked thoroughly.
