Raw eggs

Eggs can contain Salmonella even if the egg looks clean and is uncracked. To avoid getting sick, cook eggs until the yolks and whites are firm. Cook foods containing eggs thoroughly. Keep your eggs at 40°F or colder, and don’t eat raw cookie dough or cake batter.

Notice how even our traditional eggnog recipe uses eggs that have been heated to a safe temperature (but not scrambled, we promise).
