According to the CDC, 1 in 10,000 eggs contain Salmonella. If you consider most egg dishes are made with at least 2 eggs, that’s 1 in 5,000 egg dishes that potentially contain Salmonella. This however is a national average. The risk could be increased in flocks that have a greater number of hens that are carrying Salmonella and less in the farms with hens that are not.
