Is it safe to eat a frozen dessert with raw egg whites in?

Raw eggs can contain Salmonella bacteria, which can cause food poisoning.

Symptoms of Salmonella poisoning include:

* Diarrhea

* Fever

* Abdominal cramps

* Nausea

* Vomiting

Cooking eggs thoroughly to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) kills Salmonella bacteria.

Frozen desserts that contain raw egg whites are particularly risky because:

* The freezing process does not kill Salmonella bacteria.

* Raw eggs are often used in homemade ice cream and other frozen desserts.

If you are concerned about the safety of a frozen dessert, it is best to:

* Avoid frozen desserts that contain raw egg whites.

* Choose commercially prepared frozen desserts that have been pasteurized.

* Cook eggs thoroughly before using them in frozen desserts.

It is important to note that even if you are healthy and have never experienced food poisoning before, you can still get sick from eating raw eggs.
