Because Salmonella can infect any type of chicken and there is no scientific evidence that could indicate a bacteria-free eggs," said Professor Rob Gravani, a professor of food science from Cornell University, as quoted by LiveScience, Thursday (19/08/2010).

Eggs are exposed to salmonella cases must be proven through laboratory testing and can not diterawang with the naked eye.

Thus, according to Prof. Gravani if ​​there have been announcements that the egg is infected people should not eat them. Because the outside and inside infected eggs will appear normal. Another way is to consider how to cook and keep the right so that the bacteria can die.

Outbreaks of Salmonella infected eggs massively recently occurred in Atlanta USA. Local governments to attract about 380 million eggs from the market due to exposure to Salmonella outbreak.
