i am assuming it also has salt and vinegar in it. both are used as preservatives for hundreds of years. You should be ok.

i don't understand. the recipe calls for uncooked egg? salmonella risk?

True caesar dressing uses uncooked egg. Everyone (except you) knows this.

It's only been a few days. It should fine. As already mentioned, the salt and vinegar will help to preserve it. If you're paranoid about the salmonella risk of raw eggs, then you should get pasteurized eggs for raw-egg recipes.

Eggs are dated for a month after the "pack date" in the shell, provided its refrigerated. This is just a "sell-by" date too. I've personally eaten eggs a month AFTER that date.

4 days after cracking the egg is just fine.

Raw oysters, undercooked shrimp, sushi, sashimi, hamburger less than medium-well, steak less than medium well, all pork, and most chicken also carry serious health risks.

Cookie dough also has raw eggs.

It's only freaking Tuesday. It's fine unless she was using dodgy ingredients, like stinky-ass eggs, to make it in the first place.

pork is the safest meat that you listed.


also, the chance of getting salmonella from an egg is somewhere in the neighborhood of 1:1,000,000,000,000...give or take a few powers of ten.

go on dude, live life.

Right about now it's no longer safe to eat. However, it's still good for at least a couple weeks as a sexual lubricant... :sneaky:

Eat, report back. If you never log in again, consider yourself a savior of future Caesar Salad eaters on ATOT.

there have been zero cases of trichinosis reported within the developed world in nearly 4 decades.

Also, House is fiction.

It should be noted that the mere act of freezing pork for ~20 minutes is enough to kill off most of the parasites. That pork that's been sitting in your freezer for 2 weeks is safe to eat raw.
