FYI for anyone who didn’t get this email. Had to throw out my eggs and may never eat eggs again.

Doesn’t cooking the eggs kill the salmonella though?

There is also an ecoli outbreak in chopped Romaine lettuce

Right? I wouldn’t stress over an egg recall (unless you’re eating cookie dough or something with raw eggs).

Over 20 people have actually gotten sick, and I would assume most weren’t eating the eggs raw. The store you got them from will give you a full refund, you should not need a receipt.

@lifesabeach85 that’s part of my confusion... I thought cooking the eggs killed the salmonella... so how did all these people end up sick? I’m confused.

Not fully cooked? Because fully cooked would kill the salmonella. I’m guessing if they ate them over easy or just not quite fully cooked?

This is a fair point to be sure, all I’m saying is, if you have a carton of the eggs covered by the recall, why even risk it? You can get a refund or exchange for non-recall eggs easily enough.

@runningyogimama oh I guess that makes sense then. I’m just like... why are these 20 people eating raw eggs?! I don’t eat eggs so I don’t know much about the different cooking styles for them.

Thanks for the heads up! We just ate these eggs scrambled last night and so far we're all good! Going to take them back though.

It looks like the recall has been expanded to more stores. My local grocery store (Publix) is on it now. Their supplier has had Salmonella Braenderup issues, thankfully not the batch I have, but I'm throwing them out just for peace of mind.
