Cover and chill overnight. Serve eggnog with a dusting of nutmeg and cinnamon.

Yes, they're still raw. It's true that putting in alcohol helps the situation, but if salmonella is there it'll never be completely free of pathogens. Eggnog, therefore, should not be drank by the young (it's alcohol anyway), the elderly, the weakened (i.e. recovering from seriuos injury or major operations) or those with damaged immune systems. If you follow these precautions, you should be fine. Bera in mind that no more than one in four battery-produced eggs, I think, actually contain salmonella.

sure and no. the interior of an egg is evidently sterile. even with the undeniable fact that, germs and micro organism alongside with salmonella on the shell or on your fingers can contaminate the egg. that is why human beings were warned adversarial to eating raw eggs contained in the previous. in recent times the eggs are wiped clean extra thoroughly so there's a lot less possibility. in case you want to apply sparkling eggs i'd nevertheless recommend giving the shells a radical wash. in case you want to apply egg whites from a carton, they're pasteurized so that you need to be positive.

The fact that according to the USDA the chances of any egg having salmonella is one in 20,000. If you're an average American and consume 180 eggs a year, it would take you 111 years to encounter a contaminated egg.

Egg-phobia, yet another product of American food neurosis, is EXTREMELY out of proportion to the risk.

Hi !!!

Do not fold raw beaten egg whites into the cooked mixture. It hasn't been proven that raw egg whites are free of salmonella bacteria. Commercial eggnog is prepared with pasteurized eggs and requires no cooking. Eggnog made with egg substitutes is also safe since these frozen commercial products have been pasteurized.

Yes there still raw...but maybe it has something to do with the amino acids?

If you put plenty of whisky and rum in it, it will kill any bugs!
