Not everyone finds our night egg to be as tasty. It was evident in the feedback on a US-based vlogger’s post about the traditional Singaporean breakfast of ang bread and soft-boiled egg. “Explosive diarrhoea”, “disgusting ” and “snotty ” were some of the words used by international netizens to describe the eggs.
Salmonella is a very real issue in eggs and is a “leading cause of food-borne illnesses worldwide, ” the SFA asserts. This is why hens are completely cooked before being eaten in other countries.
The SFA makes sure that imported hens come from “approved resources in accredited countries and regions that meet Singapore’s food security and animal health standards” in order for you to love onsen and poached eggs with ease of mind.
Local chicken farms must also show “good land management practices and robust security measures ” to prevent bacteria contamination, said the SFA, which means removing soiled and/or cracked eggs, and constantly testing their hens for salmonella. The land will be closed until the pollution issue is fixed if salmonella is found during our tests. ”
What you can do: According to the SFA, those strict standards make it “relatively safe to eat raw or lightly cooked hens in Singapore.” But there is always a danger with fresh food, so if you are female, impaired, very young or older, it is best to avoid them.
Use pasteurized eggs that have been heating treated to remove bacteria if you need to use raw or lightly cooked eggs in dishes like cake, sauce, and desserts sauce. Then, make or buy eggs that have been cooked until the yolks and whites are strong. wet egg whites or eggs may also contain microorganisms, said the SFA.
To protect yourself more, finish up your hens as soon as they are cooked. If there are leftovers, freeze the egg or any food containing eggs quickly ( below 4 degrees Fahrenheit ) to avoid fungal growth.
