The study says 34% of whole eggs tested positive for salmonella which is insane.
The CDC says 1 on 20 000. We use raw eggs in many recipes, lots of restaurants still make home made mayo. Not to mention the thousands who eat them raw everyday in smoothies like me. I pass an 18 pack of raw eggs in a week.
I'm guessing only certain strains of salmonella actually make you sick or the study is just shit because that's the only way it makes sense.
Hmm... my family demands I make French Silk pie for the holidays and that involves 4 raw eggs per pie. Always knew there was a risk but I've never had any trouble in 20 years. Wonder how long our luck will last.
