HANDLE EGGS SAFELY
Eggs are one of the most nutri
tious, economical and versatile
foods provided by nature. When
properly handled, eggs and egg
rich foods are safe foods. Howev
er, if improperly handled, eggs
may lead to illness (Salmonello
sis) caused by a group of bacteria
called Salmonella.
Symptoms of Salmonellosis
include abdominal cramps, fever,
headaches, nausea, vomiting, and
diarrhea. The severity of an attack
depends upon the individual, and
his or her health, the number of
bacteria ingested, and the particu
lar species of Salmonella
involved. The symptoms are usu
ally relatively short in duration,
but may be more prolonged in
infants, convalescents, and the
elderly.
Foiod poisoning caused by Sal

distributed in nature and easily
spread. Salmonella is found in the
intestinal tracts of humans,
domestic and wild animals, birds,
poultry, seafoods, reptiles and
insects. Salmonella organisms can
be passed from the intestinal tract
to the hands and then on to food,
so before food preparation begins,
it is very important to wash hands
and food contact areas well with
soap and water. Food and prepara
tion areas exposed to pets or insec
ts may also become contaminated
if proper sanitation practices are
not employed.
A newly laid egg does not ordi
narily contain bacteria. However,
the shell may become contami
nated due to contact with cages,
feces, and other parts of the bird or
during washing, handling and
storage. Read the following tips
for handling shell eggs to protect
yourself and those you prepare
food for.

* Buy eggs at retail from
refrigerated cases only.
* Refrigerate eggs at 40
degrees F or below as soon as pos
sible after delivery or purchase.
* Cook eggs thoroughly until
both the yolk and white are firm,
not runny. There may be some risk
in eating eggs lightly cooked; soft
cooked, soft-scrambled, or sunny
side-up, for example.
* Realize that eating lightly
cooked foods containing eggs,
such as soft custards, meringues,
and French toast, may also be
risky for people with weakened
immune systems and other high
risk groups.
* Eggs with cracked shells, but
whose contents are not leaking,
may be used in dishes that are
thoroughly cooked such as baked
goods, and casseroles whose inter
nal temperature reach 165 degrees
F.
* Dirty or leaking eggs should
not be used.
* Keep cold food and egg pro
ducts below 40 degrees F. and hot
foods above 140 degrees F.
* Do not allow foods or egg
rich products to remain on the
counter for more than one hour
including preparation and serving.
