FDA raises recall alert to highest level on Costco eggs over risk of severe illness or death due to salmonella

i say rfk should personally take on testing all the eggs for salmonella and only after hes hand inspected them can they be sold. i only trust the real experts to handle my eggs

Then why did we elect the Orange Clown?

About 1 in 20,000 eggs in the US contains Salmonella. With proper precautions (basic hygiene and cooking to a high temperature of a bit over 70°C), this risk isn't high. In fact, it's estimated that the risk eating cooked eggs is a few orders of magnitude lower than raw eggs – about 1 in 68 billion. However, when you absolutely know that you have eggs in a range that have an extremely high risk of Salmonella, this idea is just stupid and not at all worth even the relatively low risk, because the problem you likely run into isn't the safety of the cooked food – it's the safety of the handling of the food as you're preparing it. If your next grocery trip is a ways out, the eggs might spoil, but the UPC is what Costco cares about here. If you can't be bothered, then you should probably just toss them.

You might have gotten grade A eggs, which are more used for things like baking and recipes where the egg is blended in with something to where it's more used as a binder. Them being cheaper due to a lower grade while still achieving the same end product and with the bulk amount small restaurants/bakeries would buy at any one time, it makes sense that Costco would sell them.

AA graded eggs are what you and most other are likely used to, as they are more intended for being 'prepared' as a primary ingredient like for a scramble, an omelet or even poaching.
