Pasteurized Fresh Eggs

Pasteurized fresh eggs are whole eggs that have been gently heated to kill harmful bacteria like Salmonella. This process is done without cooking the egg, preserving its fresh taste and quality. They are used similarly to raw eggs but with added safety.

Pasteurized eggs are used in recipes where eggs are not fully cooked, such as in mayonnaise, Caesar dressing, hollandaise sauce, and some desserts. Manufacturers use them to ensure food safety without compromising the texture and flavor of the final product.

Pasteurized eggs are considered safe by the FDA for consumption. They provide protein, vitamins, and minerals. The process of pasteurization is a food safety measure, not related to nutritional enhancement. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated eggs and egg products.
