What are Pasteurized Shell Eggs?
Pasteurized shell eggs are eggs which have been treated to eliminate harmful bacteria like salmonella, along with zoonotic viruses such as avian influenza. Companies which produce pasteurized shell eggs claim that they behave and taste just like regular eggs in recipes, but they are safer, since the risk of disease has been eliminated or at least greatly reduced. Eggs which have been pasteurized before sale are commonly marked with a special stamp so that they are very easy to recognize and identify.
