The Egg Handling Handbook.
Eggs can be part of a healthy diet.
However, they are perishable, just like raw meat, poultry and fish. Also today some unborken shell eggs may contain bacteria that can make you sick unless the eggs are carefully handled. This bacteria is Salmonella enteritidis . While the number of eggs affected is less that 1 in ten thousand, there have been scattered out-breaks in the last few years. Currently the government, the egg industry and the scientific community are working together to solve the problem.
