                                According to the FDA, about 79,000 cases of foodborne illness and 30 deaths annually are caused by eggs contaminated with Salmonella. When you eat partially cooked eggs, you risk exposure to this and other harmful bacteria, potentially leading to food poisoning and other serious health issues.
