Eggs are very good for health and can be included in your daily diet. However you should remember that an egg is not durable and is perishable like meat, poultry and fish. If they are properly refrigerated and cooked, eggs will benefit you a lot.

Unbroken fresh shell eggs might contain bacteria that can lead to food-borne illnesses. The Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) bacteria can be present in the egg yolk, and sometimes also in the whites.

So it is better to avoid milk shakes containing raw eggs, Caesar salad, homemade mayonnaise and all those products in which raw egg is used without cooking.
