I know a little boy who likes his eggs very runny and his mom won't give him eggs because one time he got sick. She was guessing it was the eggs. I took her over a dozen pasteurized eggs and she felt good about letting him have those. It's just that the scare is there for some people and these eggs might make life better for them.
The process does make the shell thinner and they break easier. That may be the reason they are not in every store and this is the only company that has them.
We eat a lot of eggs around here, if I'm not making hard boiled I'm scrambling them. I'll eat them if they are or are not pasteurized I'll cook them well done and wash my hands too.. : )

Me too Frank, I've never gotten sick either from eating eggs or chickens.

People just need to be careful when making any food so they don't contaminate the area and other foods.

From what I was always told, even as a child on my Grandpa's farm, and my Mom still says it's true, is that the bacteria comes from the surface of the shell, like Frank said. If you see an egg that is obviously dirty, duh, of course you're going to wash it. But did you know, with farm-fresh eggs, washing them breaks down the "integrity" of the shell, making them not last as long? So, you should only wash the outer shell right before you use the egg. With ANY kind of poultry, and my Grandpa raised BOTH turkey's and chickens, cooking them thoroughly is what kills the salmonella. What about all those people who put a raw egg into a shake (gross) or the old fashioned way to make Caesar salad dressing and mayonnaise used raw eggs. I never heard of anybody keeling over back then, why now, I wonder?

How cute!

Kinda like oysters.. mmmmmmm

I've never tryed them but what the heck...If you say their good then I will take your word for it and try them out! Catchy phrase; "The Incredible-Eatable-Egg!" You sold me to try it out!

BornToBeWild, try them out, you'll see they are good...I was just thinking about how they will do in cookies. I may need to go bake up a batch. yummy

Gammies, You get half chickens in your eggs??? WoW! I never had that happen before. That must be kinda gross. I know I would not want that. Eeeww, I'm feeling nausea coming on.. : (

Gammies, I have seen the red spots a couple of times in eggs. Is that what that means? They were fertilized? Yuck!

I don't remember if I ate them anyway. Prolly did.

Seems a little gross, doesn't it. Those poor survivors. Wonder how half chickens compare to rats on the bar-b? LOL

I don't worry about it when they come from the store. None of those eggs are supposed to be fertilized.

Makes you wonder what they are putting in the feed for the animals these days. They fatten them up too fast to get them to the market. What you gonna do!
