'It’s exceptionally simple': The case for and against pasteurising eggs | TheMattBungard

Three recalls of eggs from supermarket shelves this year have made shoppers think twice before putting them in their trolleys.

Salmonella is most commonly ingested by humans after coming into contact with uncooked meat or eggs. They usually become ill for four days to a week, and experience nausea, diarrhoea and cramps.Yes, if you cook them thoroughly or buy pasteurised egg-white products. "There are pasteurised products available for sale in Australia, and the NSW Food Authority encourages consumers and businesses to use such products as an alternative to raw egg when preparing foods that are not cooked."The authority also said Salmonella Typhimurium-related illness from eggs had declined by 54 per cent from 2014 to 2018, with outbreaks becoming increasingly rare.Spurred on by the recent salmonella outbreaks, one Australian company is looking to pasteurise eggs.

Chief executive Haggai Alon hoped to expand to Australia. “Australia is a focus, because Australia has high standards - so doing it there is the best way to showcase it," he said. "Everything related to food security and biosecurity in Australia is quite admirable.''The process involves the egg passing through a warm water bath, with strains of salmonella and other harmful bacteria reduced by at least 99.999 per cent from both the egg and the eggshell.

“It’s been a slowish journey because we haven’t actually been able to process any eggs until February this year," Ms Halliwell said.Ms Halliwell said major retailers were identifying a consumer demand for pasteurised eggs.

If Bill Shorten loses the election, three things will followThe surprising thing about this very boring election is that it really is important. On both the political and policy fronts. I think he has assessed the zeitgeist well. Getting past the vested interests, the (largely) partisan press and the abuses of government processes, that is the real challenge. A Labor loss would not be the end of a class struggle. It would be a new beginning. auspol Bullshit. Only one thing will happen if labor lose, the country won’t go under! $800 a month in extra tax on $180k. Why not take it all?
