It turns out, the temperature to kill Salmonella in eggs is around 160°F (71°C). That's right, folks, when eggs are cooked to this temperature, the bacteria are killed, and you can enjoy your eggs without worrying about getting sick. But, here's a fun fact: did you know that Salmonella can survive on the outside of eggs, even if the inside is cooked to a safe temperature?
Now, you might be wondering, how do farmers and food producers ensure that eggs are Salmonella-free? Well, it's all about the washing and sanitizing process. Eggs are washed and sanitized to remove any dirt, bacteria, or other contaminants from the outside of the egg. It's like a mini-spa day for eggs!
