Pasteurized shell eggs?

Yes, Uwajimaya and the WF in Bellevue & Redmond for sure. Town & Country and Central Market have them too, as does Chuck's Produce in Vancouver. (I know some of the distributors.)

Are raw eggs still dangerous?

At quick glance, the Lock study doesn't seem to be very supportive for you. I'll take a closer look after some sleep.

I don't see your name listed above.

Are raw eggs still dangerous?

So far, no has been able to come up with way to pasteurize eggs with microwave technology/irradiation.

One company that I know of pasteurizes whole, shell eggs with warm water. It seems that the general public would be more accepting of that method.

Are raw eggs still dangerous?

A hen has one exit. Poop and eggs came out of the same hole. E. coli, salmonella, listeria...are not visible to the naked eye. This is the same for the chckens in my backyard and for the chickens across the country from me. And the same for chickens raised in a big barn and chickens raised in a lttle barn. Poop is poop. Local poop is not safer than out-of-state poop.

There is no testing on egg farms. If you find salmonella, you have to report it.. And no farmer wants to do that. Great system to ensure a safe food supply huh?

Is there no dirt on ethical farms? No soil? No flies or rodents? Do the hens use the toilet, flush and wash their hands after wiping? Do the other animals? Do the ethical hens not peck in the dirt or grass?

My backyard hens don't have such luxuries. I believe I'm still "ethically" raising them. But chickens are dirty birds.

Lemon juice and vinegar are not acidic enough to kill most pathogens. They can slow the growth of them, but not kill them.

Are raw eggs still dangerous?

The only scientific evidence I've seen regarding acidic ingredients used with raw eggs, is that the acid does NOT kill existing pathogens, but can keep them from multiplying -- like refrigeration does. Leaving your mayo out overnight is not a good idea.

Alone in Clearwater Beach

Frenchy's get my vote!! I live in Chicago and I dream about that blackened grouper sandwich. My favorite Frenchy's location is Clearwater Beach, near the Hilton on the beach.

I'd also recommend Crabby Bill's in Indian Rocks Beach.
