Why Egg Yolk Lowkey Bad ?

Raw or undercooked egg yolks pose a risk of Salmonella infection because bacteria can be present inside uncracked, whole eggs. While the risk is relatively low, consuming raw yolks can cause severe food poisoning, particularly in vulnerable groups like children, the elderly, and pregnant women.

Eating undercooked or raw egg yolks carries a small risk (about 1 in 20,000 eggs) of contracting Salmonella. Bacteria can exist inside uncracked eggs, and the yolk provides an ideal environment for them to multiply. [1, 2, 3]
