Guest guest Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I posted this in another thread somewhere, but salmonella can be inside the egg too: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/diseaseinfo/salment_g.htm " Unlike eggborne salmonellosis of past decades, the current epidemic is due to intact and disinfected grade A eggs. Salmonella enteritidis silently infects the ovaries of healthy appearing hens and contaminates the eggs before the shells are formed. Most types of Salmonella live in the intestinal tracts of animals and birds and are transmitted to humans by contaminated foods of animal origin. Stringent procedures for cleaning and inspecting eggs were implemented in the 1970s and have made salmonellosis caused by external fecal contamination of egg shells extremely rare. However, unlike eggborne salmonellosis of past decades, the current epidemic is due to intact and disinfected grade A eggs. The reason for this is that Salmonella enteritidis silently infects the ovaries of healthy appearing hens and contaminates the eggs before the shells are formed.

And that brings us back full circle to the question of how the animals who provide out food are treated -- because if they're in factory farm conditions, they are more likely to pick up those kinds of infections. Also, in keeping with the subject, do some research on what a good disinfectant vinegar, which is the acid we put in most mayonnaise, is! — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Babette the Foundling Beagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
