All grocery stores around here have no eggs, I think due to H5N1.
Then why did we elect the Orange Clown?
You can’t enjoy the warmth of a dumpster fire, without the dumpster.

How are we as a society ever going to overcome Salmonella if we recall these foods? We need to build up natural immunity! These should stay on the shelves. I hope RJK jr is on this, as it’s probably the greatest threat to the nation.
Isn’t Salmonella killed by cooking? Don’t have runny eggs.
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.
