Researchers Use Kitchen Equipment to Rid Eggshells of Salmonella

Researchers at Australia’s Flinders University have uncovered a new way to remove Salmonella contamination from the surface of eggs.

Eggshells are commonly contaminated with the bacterium Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. Flinders researchers came up with a decontamination method that ultimately removed the Salmonella contamination from the eggshell without damaging the egg’s quality or usability.
