New menus were printed with the disclosure statement "Consuming raw or undercooked meats...." but the eggs offered over easy are not marked or otherwise identified as being undercooked. Add the symbol that matches the symbol at the beginning of the disclosure statement to the menu item "eggs". Example: Two eggs* over-easy ...*Consuming raw or undercooked....". You can fix this by using a permanent marker and placing * or other symbol by the "eggs" and the disclosure statement.
