I have been talking with clients about this for what seems to be years. Their first question to me is “what about Salmonella?” when I tell them that a raw grass fed organic egg is
natures complete protein. And no not just the egg whites either.
I have been consuming up to 6 raw eggs a day for the last 6 years… But they are at least organic if not fully grass fed. Make no mistake there are dangerous forms of food out there, foods that harbor bad bacteria. Get to know their origins and talk to a local farmer! Here is an article that will echo my wisdom on this:
Federal officials have matched the Salmonella responsible for current egg recalls to bacteria found in barns and chicken feed at two major Iowa egg producing facilities.
This has relaunched the debate over whether eggs from smaller, organic farms are safer.
Organic farmers argue that the conditions under which large agribusiness raises and houses chickens create an environment where bacteria can spread more easily. The birds are often kept in cages that are stacked closely next to and on top of each other
According to Live Science:
‚Äú‚ÄòThe smaller the farm is, the lower the likeliness of Salmonella,‚Äô said infectious disease specialist William Schaffner … ‚ÄòThe general thinking is that larger chicken farms are much more difficult to keep clean, and this makes it easier to transmit Salmonella.‚Äô‚Äù
