What it is

Pasteurized eggs are whole eggs, egg whites, or egg yolks that have been gently heated to a specific temperature for a set amount of time. This process kills harmful bacteria like Salmonella without cooking the egg.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use pasteurized eggs to improve the texture, richness, and binding properties of foods. They are commonly found in products where raw eggs are typically used but safety is a concern, such as ice cream, cakes, custards, and sauces.

Health notes

Pasteurized eggs are considered safe by the FDA. The pasteurization process significantly reduces the risk of foodborne illness from Salmonella. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated eggs and egg products. No significant health concerns are associated with the consumption of pasteurized eggs at typical intake levels.

Allergen info

Eggs are one of the FDA's major food allergens. Consumers with an egg allergy should avoid products containing pasteurized eggs.
