NORMAN — What you can do to reduce your risk of becoming infected with Salmonella Enteritidis, the strain associated with the massive egg recall by two Iowa farms:
· Keep eggs refrigerated at all times
· Get rid of cracked or dirty eggs
· Wash your hands, cooking utensils and preparation surfaces with soap and water after contact with raw eggs
· Cook eggs until both the white and the yolk are firm and eat them promptly after cooking
· Don't keep eggs warm or at room temperature for more than two hours
· Refrigerate unused or leftover egg-containing foods promptly
