Pasteurised egg
Pasteurised egg is a type of egg that has been treated to eliminate harmful bacteria while still maintaining its liquid form. It is obtained from chickens, just like regular eggs, but goes through a process called pasteurisation to make it safer for consumption. This process involves heating the eggs to a specific temperature to kill any bacteria present.
To produce pasteurised eggs, the shell eggs are placed in a hot water bath that is heated to a precise temperature for a certain period. This kills off any harmful bacteria like Salmonella that might be present on the eggshell or inside the egg. The pasteurised eggs are then cooled rapidly to prevent them from cooking and are ready for use.
Pasteurised egg is often used in food products that require raw or partially cooked eggs, such as mayonnaise, ice cream, custards, and salad dressings. It helps enhance the safety of these products by reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses associated with consuming raw eggs. When you see pasteurised egg on a food label, it indicates that the product contains eggs that have undergone this pasteurisation process to ensure the safety of the food.
