Eggs are nutritious, but they can harbor salmonella both on the shell and inside the egg itself. Although food safety measures have reduced the number of egg-related outbreaks over the years, infections still occur.

Be cautious with soft-boiled or runny eggs, especially if you fall into a higher-risk category.
