I’ve had raw eggs for years, never once got salmonella from them. You know what gave me Salmonella though? A fast food Chinese place… and more than once. The raw egg panic is really overblown.
Also:
“Yes, raw eggs are safe to eat in Canada. Canadian eggs undergo an intense inspection process before they reach grocery stores, and the risk of salmonella contamination is extremely low.”
“IS IT SAFE TO EAT RAW OR SOFT-COOKED EGGS? Yes, as long as the eggs are handled properly: • Always use fresh Canada Grade A eggs that have been kept refrigerated. The Best Before date on the carton will help determine freshness. Ensure that the egg is clean and the shell is not cracked.”
Legit, I’ve never had raw egg issues in Canada and people who harp about it, I find, never even eat raw eggs at all. Québec has a huge tartare culture and many eat raw eggs with tartare, it’s not even comparable to the US. Come on now 🙄
Canadians eggs are tested way more than US eggs. Not negotiable. We might have similar processes, but we don’t have the same risk level (which is why saying North America is ignorant, we don’t treat egg safety the same way as the US due to cultural traditions which still involve raw eggs). Get real.
“North American”, no, just American. I eat my tartare with raw eggs just fine up here in Canada 😂
I’m Canadian. I’ve also worked at egg facilities here. We treat our eggs the same as the US. Result is the same risk.
