Could I really get salmonella or other nasties from supermarket eggs? Probably silly question ...

I've got a serious craving for those little chopped up crabsticks/seafood sticks that Asda sell ready packaged with a little pot of dipping sauce. Serious as in bad things will happen if I don't get one soon.

Only issue is that the dipping sauce is mayonnaise based and the label just says eggs, egg whites, and egg yolks, but nothing about them being pasteurised.

Safe? Yay or nay? Opinions please? DH is of the mind I should avoid them but I'm of the mind that even if they're not pasteurised they'll still be safe because the sauce is pre-packed and from a reliable retailer.

i have been told from midwife and loads of peopel on here that all egg and egg products sold in supermarkets have to have been vaccinated from sallmonella, i would have no problem eating it. its only homemade stuff thats not cooked isnt ok, but even then if its supermarket eggs you should be fine

Supermarket mayo will have been made from pasteurised egg, so will be fine

Unlikely to contain salmonella anyway

Scoff away :)
