Eggs can be part of a healthy diet.
However, they are perishable, just like raw meat, poultry and fish. To be safe, they must be properly refrigerated and cooked. Also today some unbroken shell eggs may contain bacteria that can make you sick unless the eggs are carefully handled. This bacteria is Salmonella enteritidis. Whine the number of eggs affected is less than one in ten thousand, there have been scattered outbreaks in the last few years.
