Australian Health Department: Eggs are more susceptible to salmonella infection after being washed

According to Australian media reports, the Salmonella epidemic in South Australia in Australia hit a five-year high, nearly twice the incidence in 2010
.
The health department believes that eggs are more susceptible to salmonella infection after they are washed
.
According to reports, when people wash away the dirt on the surface of dirty eggs, they may actually introduce germs into the porous eggshells, causing food poisoning
.
Although it is difficult to determine that the Salmonella epidemic is caused by a single cause, the health department has issued a public safety alert, calling on the public to be particularly careful during food preparation, cooking and storage
.
As of October 24, a total of 1,056 cases of Salmonella infection were confirmed this year, and there were 668 cases in 2010
.
Last year, 1,210 cases were recorded, but at this time of year, the number of cases dropped by 215 cases last year
.
The South Australian Health Director of Public Health Services, Dr.
Kevin Buckett, said that Salmonella cases have reached a five-year high in South Australia.
These cases are often difficult to identify the cause.
Food safety is more important than ever
.
Eggs are an important part of a balanced diet and should be taken seriously
.
Bakett said that cracked and dirty eggs should be discarded because these eggs may contain bacteria such as Salmonella
.
Also, don't wash dirty eggs, because the shell of the egg contains fine pores, which may help bacteria to penetrate from the shell of the egg into the egg
.
　　Buckett reminded that processed foods containing raw eggs, such as mayonnaise or raw egg shakes, have a high risk of bacterial growth
.
Try to keep raw eggs as fresh as possible.
Keep food cold before eating.
Do not remove food and raw eggs from the refrigerator for more than two hours at any time
