If a salmonella egg recall is announced, play it safe by observing the following precautions.

Step 1: Check the FDA website
Check for a list of recalled eggs on the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, website, at fda.gov.

Step 2: Do not eat recalled eggs
Throw away eggs that have been recalled, and thing about curbing your egg consumption temporarily. Be aware that they may still be in grocery stores and restaurants after the recall.

Tip
If you have purchased recalled eggs, discard them or take them back to the store for a refund.

Step 3: Keep eggs refrigerated
Keep non-recalled eggs refrigerated at home at a temperature below 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Discard any cracked or dirty eggs.

Tip
If the eggs have been pasteurized, they will be safe to eat.

Step 4: Cook eggs well
Cook eggs until they are hard-boiled. If the yolk or white runs or drips, it is not cooked enough.

Step 5: Wash your hands
Always wash your hands, utensils, and kitchen surfaces after they have been in contact with raw eggs. By following this "egg-celent" advice, you should have no difficulty weathering the next salmonella egg recall.
