#11: Raw Eggs

Consuming raw eggs poses a risk, particularly for those aged 60 and above, due to the salmonella present in about one in 20,000 eggs. To mitigate health risks, it’s prudent to avoid raw eggs.

Avoid tasting raw cookie dough and choose commercial mayonnaise and hollandaise sauces over homemade. Embracing the mantra ‘better safe than sorry’ can help prevent the discomfort and health issues associated with salmonella.
