Salmonella Prevention
The safest way to eat eggs without contracting salmonella is to:
- Reduce the risk of illness by preparing meals with pasteurized eggs from local supermarket (read more Part 4)
- Pasteurize eggs yourself if not available at supermarket (see at-home pasteurization technique in Part 4)
- Purchase before "sell by" date located on the egg carton.
- Crack egg on counter and not side of bowl to prevent direct contamination into meal. Open egg above bowl, avoiding contact with shell.
- Cook egg thoroughly to 160°F to kill any Salmonella bacteria before eating.
- Avoid ‘runny’ egg yolks (sunny side up or poached eggs and slightly cooked egg dishes).
- Refrigerate eggs immediately as they are perishable and at proper temperature to impede growth of bacteria.
- Handle eggs and counter surfaces the same way you would when handling chicken, meat and seafood by cleaning area with an antibacterial detergent.
- Wash hands meticulously before and after handling eggs with lots of soap suds and wringing hands to produce friction and lather to eliminate germs on contact with hands, then rinse.
