Should You Refrigerate Egg? by obaxlove(m): 1:47pm On Jul 26, 2015 |
Happy sunday Friends, As we enjoy the weekend that's almost over its important we have a good health talk: Should you refrigerate egg? The salmonella enteritidis bacterium is extremely dangerous to humans and can infect hens' ovaries and contaminate eggs even before they're laid. * Cracked or porous eggs also can become infected during the production process. * according to. US food and Drug administration, salmonella is the No. 1 cause of food+borne illness in the US, causing more than 142,000 illnesses a year. *Because there's no. Way to tell which eggs have been infected, egg producers have blanket protection policies against salmonella. * The US, Australia and Japan require eggs to be washed immediately in a hot, soapy bath and then refrigerated for the remainder of their shelf life. *Producers and consumers in most other countries don't wash or refrigerate their eggs at all. *Washing eggs kills bacteria, but it also removes the waxy shell coating that depends eggs against microorganisms. So then, the washed eggs have to be constantly refrigerated to make up for their lack of protection. *So, should you refrigerate your eggs? It depends on where you are and from whom you've bought them. If the eggs have been refrigerated through the production process, you need to keep them in the fridge. Otherwise, put your eggs in the pantry and carry on. Source: howstuffworks.com |
