Common Sense Guidelines for Handling Eggs in Restaurants in the USA

Storage:

  • Store eggs in a refrigerator at 40°F (4°C) or below.
  • Keep eggs in their original carton to maintain freshness.
  • Do not wash eggs before storing them, as this can remove the protective layer on the shell.

    • Preparation:

  • Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling eggs.
  • Use clean utensils and equipment when preparing eggs.
  • Cook eggs to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to kill harmful bacteria.
  • Do not use cracked or damaged eggs.

    • Serving:

  • Serve eggs hot and immediately after cooking.
  • Do not hold cooked eggs at room temperature for more than two hours.
  • Discard any leftover eggs that have been sitting out for more than two hours.

    • Additional Tips:

  • Use pasteurized eggs if possible, as they have been treated to kill harmful bacteria.
  • Avoid consuming raw or undercooked eggs, as they can contain harmful bacteria.
  • Pregnant women, young children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems should be especially cautious about consuming eggs.
  • If you have any concerns about the safety of eggs, consult with a healthcare professional or the local health department.

    • Consequences of Improper Egg Handling:

    Improper handling of eggs can lead to foodborne illnesses, such as:

  • Salmonella
