The 10 riskiest foods
Eggs also ranked high on the riskiest food list, being responsible for 352 outbreaks resulting in 11,163 illnesses since 1990. While many believe washing the shell will rid the egg of bacteria, the most common form of salmonella actually contaminates the egg before the shell is formed. The good news is that proper cooking can destroy most of the pathogens. HYOSUB SHIN /hshin@ajc.com
