Health Tip: Make Sure Eggs Are Thoroughly Cooked

Enjoying an egg for a meal or snack? Make sure it’s properly cooked to avoid food-borne illness.

The FoodSafety.gov website recommends:

Cooking scrambled eggs until they are no longer runny and are firm to the touch.
Baking, broiling, frying or poaching eggs until both the yolk and white feel firm.
Baking casseroles and other egg dishes until the center reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit, measured with a food thermometer.
Replacing raw egg whites with liquid egg substitute or a cooked mixture of egg and milk.
