*RAW EGG WARNING
The American Egg Board states: "There have been warnings against
consuming raw or lightly cooked eggs on the grounds that the egg may be
contaminated with Salmonella, a bacteria responsible for a type of food
poisoning....Healthy people need to remember that there is a very small
risk and treat eggs and other raw animal foods accordingly. Use only properly
refrigerated, clean, sound-shelled, fresh, grade AA or A eggs. Avoid mixing
yolks and whites with the shell."
