Why are eggs and chicken risky?
Eggs and chicken are common sources of salmonella because the bacteria can live in poultry. It can be present on eggshells or inside eggs, and in raw chicken meat. Proper cooking kills the bacteria, but cross-contamination from raw products to ready-to-eat foods is a significant risk, highlighting the need for careful food hygiene.
