Tainted eggs didn’t affect Fla. Residents

A recent outbreak of salmonella stemming from tainted eggs has not affected residents in Florida.

Still, in a news release issued last week, officials from the Centers for Disease Control are urging residents not to eat recalled eggs, and to exercise caution when consuming and cooking eggs.

Though the recent incidents appears to be isolated to just three states, the CDC is joining forces with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service to investigate a nationwide increase of salmonella infections.
