✱ 9 – Eggs
Undercooked eggs form a breeding zone for a variety of bacteria that can cause severe intestinal distress and even death in people with a compromised immune system. Salmonella is the most common foodborne bacteria with risks of contamination being higher in a restaurant setting when hundreds of eggs are used at any given time. The bacteria can lurk inside the egg, so proper cooking is the key to kill the germs. Therefore, always check the expiry date on the carton. If the egg is left overnight, then discard it. Cooking eggs entirely is the best defense.
