According to the CDC, 26 restaurants have been identified with providing eggs which led to salmonella poisoning.

What can you do to best avoid this?

Some people, such as children, pregnant women, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems or debilitating illnesses, are at higher risk for a Salmonella infection and need to be particularly careful when eating out.

Here are some practical things that you can do to keep you and your family safe:

Always ask your server whether the food contains raw or undercooked eggs. If so, find out if the eggs are pasteurized. If not, order something else. Some foods that may contain raw or undercooked eggs include:
Hollandaise sauce
Caesar salad dressing
Mayonnaise
Cold soufflés, chiffons, or mousses
Ice cream
Meringue-topped pies
Tiramisu
Certain ethnic dishes, such as Japanese sukiyaki or Korean bibimbap.

If you order cooked eggs, make sure that they’re thoroughly cooked. Scrambled eggs should be firm, not runny. Fried, poached, boiled, or baked eggs should have firm whites and yolks.

Avoid eating eggs at a buffet, since the eggs may be undercooked or may have been at room temperature for too long.

If you plan to save leftovers to eat later, refrigerate egg dishes as soon as possible – always within two hours (or one hour if it’s a hot day).
