It\u2019s hard to beat a yolk-soaked breakfast sandwich. But undercooking your eggs carries real health risks.<\/p>\n

Sunny side-up, over easy, lightly scrambled, soft-boiled, poached: Americans love eating eggs when they\u2019re still runny, despite the general understanding that raw or undercooked eggs aren\u2019t good for you.<\/p>\n

When you cook an egg, the heat that solidifies its whites and yolks kills pathogens like salmonella and bird flu. That\u2019s why food safety officials<\/a> recommend cooking eggs until both parts are firm.<\/p>\n

But how unsafe are runny yolks really?<\/p>\n

That depends on how much risk you\u2019re willing to accept, said Felicia Wu, a professor of food safety, toxicology and risk assessment at Michigan State University.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look at the eggs typically purchased in the United States, most of them are perfectly safe to eat in a runny state,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s just that we don\u2019t know when there\u2019s an individual egg that contains some risk.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
