OVER-EASY: Despite this summer's egg recall, sunny-side up, poached and over-easy eggs are still on menus at restaurants nationwide.
CLOSER EYE: Instead of taking eggs off the menu, restaurateurs are relying on long-standing menu warnings about the dangers of eating undercooked food. They threw out recalled eggs and are relying on waitstaff to field questions from concerned guests.
COMMON GERM: Salmonella is occasionally present in the roughly 80 billion eggs sold in their shell in the U.S. each year. The harmful bacteria typically contaminate one out of every 10,000 to 20,000 eggs.
