Not every egg is infected with salmonella. It depends on your luck and also how well stuff is kept clean.

In any processed food with raw eggs, there may be more opportunities for the salmonella to be introduced because the various processing steps involved. (each egg might have a 0.001% chance of salmonella but in a factory, they might mix in batches of 10,000 eggs at a time, so that has a high chance of spreading it)
