1900万枚鸡蛋“紧急撤退”

Do you eat eggs for breakfast? Eggs are good for us. But now, in the United States, some eggs are not safe to eat. Many eggs are being recalled (召回) because they have germs (细菌) called salmonella (沙门氏菌). More than 19 million eggs are recalled. 134 people became sick.

If people eat them, they may have a stomachache and a fever, and may throw up (呕吐). What should people do? They can look at the FDA’s website to see which eggs are being recalled. The site advises people to throw them away or return them to the store for a refund.
