Why are pasteurized shell eggs so important to food safety in the military?
Unlike the general population, those in the military are usually in excellent physical condition. However, even for healthy individuals, food-borne illness from Salmonella can cause profound, if short term, health consequences. Symptoms from exposure to Salmonella include vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, cramping and fatigue for up to 96 hours. A single egg can introduce Salmonella to an entire foodservice kitchen and operational efficiency and overall readiness can be destroyed for an extended period of time. At home and abroad, safe troop feeding is a top concern. You can ease that concern by eliminating the risk of illness from Salmonella in shell eggs with Safest Choice™ pasteurized shell eggs.
