Thank you for sharing this important safety alert! This is especially relevant for people with lupus, since lupus can affect the immune system, making it harder to fight off infections like foodborne illness.

It's strongly recommended to check the FDA link provided and verify whether any eggs in your home are part of this recall. When in doubt, throw them out — it's not worth the risk.

A few general egg safety tips that are always good practice:

- Store eggs in the refrigerator at or below 40°F
- Cook eggs until both the yolk and white are firm
- Avoid dishes made with raw or undercooked eggs
- Wash hands thoroughly after handling raw eggs

If you experience any symptoms of foodborne illness, contact your doctor right away, especially given the immune system challenges that can come with lupus.

I use only egg whites in a carton. Does this problem potentially affect me? (I guess so?)
