Food Poisoning Bulletin Salmonella Eggs Food Poisoning Food Safety

With the coronavirus pandemic forcing more people to cook at home, many consumers need reminders about food safety. If you haven’t cooked in a long time, you should know that there are some foods that are considered high risk and need to be handled with care. One of those foods is eggs, more specifically Salmonella and eggs.

Many Salmonella outbreaks have been linked to raw and under cooked eggs. Eggs should be cooked to a final temperature of 160°F, as measured with a reliable food thermometer. That means that sunny side up and over-easy eggs are not safe to eat, especially if anyone in your family is in a high risk group for food poisoning.
