The feds say there are some foods you may want to AVOID during the shutdown.
Yahoo reports that FDA food inspectors just returned to work this week.
And even now, they're still short-staffed.
The list includes unpasteurized juices, ciders, or dairy products, raw or under cooked meat and poultry, eggs, and shellfish, store-bought salads (including ham, egg, tuna, chicken, potato, and macaroni), refrigerated, ready-to-eat foods (including hot dogs and deli meats), raw sprouts, cantaloupe, and any other uncooked and unwashed fruits and vegetables in general.
So, the agency says for the time being, you'd best steer clear of foods that are more prone to food-borne illness.
