Most people in the world will choose eggs during breakfast.
Eggs are really easy to prepare Also, they are nutritious and healthy. That’s
why, people are buying lots of them then stored either in the refrigerator or
just in room temperature.
But now, there’s an argument that’s been discussed in some
forums about the need for eggs to be refrigerated of not.
If you live in North America, Scandanavia, Australia or
Japan, you’re commonly keeping eggs in the refrigerator while other countries
do not and just place eggs in room temperature out of the refrigerator.
But, there’s a risk of having the bacteria called salmonella
on those eggs that are not being kept in refrigerators.
“In
vitro insertion of salmonella into eggs is additional successful with non –
cold eggs than with cold eggs”, this is according to the Journal of Food
Protection publication.
But, National Public Radio claims that eggs should not be
refrigerated. This is because of the various protections against salmonella in
the United States like inspections, washing, and tracking the eggs from the
supplier to the store. In Europe, most chickens are being vaccinated with
anti-salmonella. That means that there’s nothing to worry at all.
In the FDA guidelines, “Vaccines can be a very effective
component of a [Salmonella enteritidis] prevention program”.
According to Marianne Gravely, technical information
specialist at the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, “Eggs shouldn’t be left at room temperature
for more than two hours”.
“There
is no way to know if a shell egg is pathogen-free. Food poisoning bacteria
don’t affect the taste, smell, or appearance of a food. You can’t tell if a
chicken is infected with salmonella, so any egg, whether it came from a grocery
store, a farmers market, or from your neighbor’s backyard hens, could contain
salmonella,” she added.
The end point will still be on the side of the consumers.
Being aware on how to handle food can really be the best prevention to health
issues.
