The Salmonella is on the OUTSIDE of the shells.

GOOD food handling procedures and handwashing remove this threat.

Anatomically, chickens lay eggs and ‘poop’ out the same orifice — google cloaca.

Salmonella and other coliform bacteria are naturally in the gut of chickens. This is NOT a surprise to see eggs go to market with Salmonella.

Your Mayo is fine.

Thx.

The article describes problems related to raw or undercooked eggs. So, is it safe to assume that egg-washing practised in commercial food processing removes the risk - (which may be lax in restaurants and home preparation)?

Does cooking eggs in bakery products etc., kill the bacteria?

Eggshells are porous. The salmonella can get through to the egg itself.

“The Salmonella is on the OUTSIDE of the shells.”

The news is reporting that in this case there is salmonella being found inside the egg.

So better to put your toast soldiers away and learn to like a firm yolk.
