What it is

Pasteurized eggs are whole eggs that have been gently heated to kill harmful bacteria like Salmonella. This process is done without cooking the egg or significantly changing its taste or nutritional value. It's a way to make eggs safer for consumption, especially in products where they might not be fully cooked.

Why it's used

Pasteurized eggs are used in foods where raw or undercooked eggs are a concern, such as in dressings, sauces, ice cream, and baked goods. They provide the same binding, emulsifying, and leavening properties as regular eggs but with reduced risk of foodborne illness.

Health notes

Pasteurized eggs are considered safe by the FDA and are widely used in the food industry. The pasteurization process significantly reduces the risk of Salmonella contamination without adding any chemicals. Regulatory bodies like the FDA have evaluated food safety practices related to egg handling and processing.

Allergen info

Eggs are one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. People with an egg allergy should avoid foods containing pasteurized eggs.
