Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy people infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.
Return the eggs to the store where you bought them for a full refund.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s guidelines for safe egg handling include cooking eggs until both the yolk and white are firm, and washing kitchen utensils and hands thoroughly with soap and hot water whenever you’ve handled eggs.
