FRIDAY, Sept. 26 (HealthDay News) -- As food-safety problems continue to rock the United States, resulting in massive recalls, illness and even death, the federal Food and Drug Administration remains underfunded and understaffed to protect consumers, a new government report concludes.

The report, released Friday by the Congressional General Accountability Office (GAO), found that the FDA lacks the inspectors, staffers and scientists to safeguard the food supply, particularly fresh produce.

With all the talk about eating raw foods and their safety, I started wondering about the eggs I eat in the morning (either at home or in a restaurant).

I never thought of this, but the eggs can be considered partially raw, if they are "sunny side up" (yoke runny), right?

Is it safe to eat this type of egg, or do they need to be fully cooked ("over easy") or even scrambled?
