fear, and it’s understandable. The idea of eating something that might contain a parasite is genuinely unsettling.
Here’s the good news: eggs are remarkably safe.
The USDA and the FDA strictly regulate commercial eggs in the United States. All commercial eggs are washed, graded, and inspected. Parasites in eggs are extremely rare.
In the extremely unlikely event that a parasite were present, it would be killed by cooking. Eggs should always be cooked until both the white and the yolk are firm—not runny. This kills any potential bacteria and parasites.
