    • Keep eggs and egg containing products refrigerated at all times.
    • Discard cracked or dirty eggs.
    • Wash hands, utensils, and food preparation surfaces with soap and water after contact with raw eggs.
    • Eggs should be cooked until firm through-out and eaten promptly after cooking.
    • Consumption of raw or undercooked eggs should be avoided, especially by the young, seniors, or those with a weakened immune system.
