Raw eggs are a kitchen staple, but they carry risks that can turn a simple recipe into a health hazard. Whether you’re baking, making sauces, or whipping up breakfast, how you handle raw eggs matters more than most people realize. The risk of foodborne illness, especially from Salmonella, is real even when eggs look perfectly fine. Simple mistakes can spread bacteria to your hands, utensils, or other foods. Understanding what not to do with raw eggs helps keep your meals safe and your kitchen clean.
