annierose asked:
I have a recipe for a cooked egg nog (the yolks are cooked) and stiffly beaten egg whites are folded in, then the egg nog is served cold. does the beating do something to the whites to make them safe to eat? aren’t they still raw?

yes they are still raw
here is another recipe
you are worried about raw eggs, make a cooked egg nog instead.
INGREDIENTS:
6 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 quart milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cinnamon
PREPARATION:
Beat eggs, sugar and salt together in a saucepan. Stir in half the milk (2 cups). On low heat, cook until mixture is thick and thinly coats a spoon. Make sure to stir constantly. Remove from heat and mix in the last of the milk and the vanilla.

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!

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.

Hi !!!
They are NOT safe, you are right, they are still raw. Please go to the site below for more info.

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.

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.
