title="Bacteria">bacteria</a>, such as <a href="/wiki/Salmonella_enteritidis" class="mw-redirect" title="Salmonella enteritidis">Salmonella enteritidis</a>. Contamination of eggs with other members of the genus Salmonella while exiting a female bird via the <a href="/wiki/Cloaca" title="Cloaca">cloaca</a> may occur, so care must be taken to prevent the egg shell from becoming contaminated with <a href="/wiki/Fecal" class="mw-redirect" title="Fecal">fecal</a> matter. In commercial practice in the US, eggs are quickly washed with a sanitizing solution within minutes of being laid. The risk of infection from raw or undercooked eggs is dependent in part upon the sanitary conditions under which the hens are kept. Health experts advise people to refrigerate washed eggs, use them within two weeks, cook them thoroughly, and never consume raw eggs.<a href="#cite_note-cspinet-61">[61]</a> As with <a href="/wiki/Meat" title="Meat">meat</a>, containers and surfaces that have been used to process raw eggs should not come in contact with ready-to-eat food. A study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2002 (Risk Analysis April 2002 22(2):203-18) suggests the problem is not so prevalent in the U.S. as once thought. It showed that of the 69 billion eggs produced annually, only 2.3 million are contaminated with Salmonella—equivalent to just one in every 30,000 eggs—thus showing Salmonella infection is quite rarely induced by eggs. This has not been the case in other countries, however, where Salmonella enteritidis and <a href="/wiki/Salmonella_typhimurium" class="mw-redirect" title="Salmonella typhimurium">Salmonella typhimurium</a> infections due to egg consumption are major concerns.<a href="#cite_note-ccni-96">[96]</a><a href="#cite_note-phis-97">[97]</a><a href="#cite_note-lost-98">[98]</a> Egg shells act as <a href="/wiki/Hermetic_seal" title="Hermetic seal">hermetic seals</a> that guard against bacteria entering, but this seal can be broken through improper handling or if laid by unhealthy chickens.
