📢 Keep your kitchen safe by keeping your eggs safe.
🥚 Eggs are a staple in many meals, but they require careful handling to prevent salmonella. Protect yourself and those around you with these simple steps:
• Cook eggs until both the yolks and whites are firm.
• Discard eggs that are cracked or have dirty shells.
• Wash hands, utensils, surfaces, and containers with hot, soapy water after handling raw eggs.
• Seek medical advice if you develop a fever, diarrhea, or abdominal cramps after eating undercooked eggs.
Salmonella symptoms can include diarrhea, fever, severe vomiting, dehydration, and stomach cramps. Most people recover within a few days, but young children, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems may face more serious illness.
