@Ruby Laine   I totally agree with you - make your own hb eggs, I do, never a problem.

I also do  not buy romaine lettuce ever since all that turned bad. What I don't understand is why I keep seeing it everywhere in grocery stores and restaurants. I don't order a salad without asking if it contains romaine. Most times, I pass on a salad out anyway.

I also do not eat red meat ie burgers. Beef/grnd beef has gone bad too.

I never eat out at a buffet of any type. And I pick and choose carefully where I may eat out at.

Processed meats ie lunch meats are just plain bad for us anyway. I cringe to think about all those sandwiches my own parents ate all their lives.

It's become so dangerous for us to eat out, eat anything anywhere.

Did you stop eating?

The problem with the hard-boiled eggs is by no means over. The eggs have a lifespan of 49 days, which is 7 weeks. I get the FDA's recall alerts and am starting to see notices about things like prepared salads (e.g., chef salad, cobb salad with hard-boiled eggs) and prepared potato salad. Many companies and labels may be affected before this one is over.

IMO, it would be wise to avoid all foods incorporating hard-boiled eggs that are prepared commercially until this is cleaned up. That means reading labels and not buying anything from the deli section at the supermarket that might  contain eggs. Many deli products are made elsewhere, not at the supermarket.

On a different topic that was mentioned, ground beef, I don't think I've ever seen a local recall. It's almost always beef ground at a major processor. If you stick with store-ground hamburger, you'll avoid those problems. That's not to say there can't be others, especially if the butcher goes from grinding poultry or pork to beef and doesn't clean the machine thoroughly between type of meat.  Then you could be  looking at trichina and/or salmonella contamination in the hamburger. The solution is to grind it yourself.

The reason you may not hear about locally ground beef being recalled, or infected, is that it probably doesn 'affect enough people to make more than very local news.. Only the large manufacturers  sell enough to different chains and locations, that it seems to warrant a national recall...
