Its not entirely raw.
Its possible to pasteurize a raw egg (rid it of bacteria) by cooking it briefly at a low heat, while keeping it raw. The USDA reccomends a 140° F bath for 3.5 mins. This can also be done out of t
he shell, and its easier to be accurate this way.

In some countries, chickens are also vaccinated against salmonella, so people can store their eggs on a shelf, rather than refrigerate them.
PS, dont wash eggs, fruits and veggies until its time to prep them to eat.
