Coborn's Eggs Not Included in National Recall
Wednesday, November 10th, 2010
With eggs being a raw product, the potential exists for salmonella no matter how hard industry tries to minimize this risk. Therefore, eggs should be handled with care, hands and surfaces should be thoroughly washed after handling raw eggs. If dishes are going to be prepared with eggs which are not cooked or partially cooked, pastuerized eggs should be used. This includes "sunny side up" eggs.
