Abstract
Eggs are part of a healthy diet and contain many nutrients. Moderate egg consumption does not increase heart disease risk in healthy individuals. However, Salmonella enteritidis (SE) infections from eggs continue to be a significant cause of outbreaks of gastroenteritis. Symptoms of SE illness can be severe and result in hospitalization from dehydration or sepsis. This publication provides an overview of egg handling practices in the United States and also includes safe practices for handling, storage, and consumption of eggs from farm to grocery store to table.
