Why is it your told not to eat cake mix because it has raw eggs. Yet people like body builders swallow whole raw eggs?
In: Biology
The problem with raw cake mix is not in fact the raw eggs, which can harbour salmonella, but are generally relatively safe for healthy adults. The problem is the uncooked flour, which can be contaminated with E. coli to dangerous levels.
Commercial ‘raw cookie dough’ products (e.g. cookie dough ice cream) use treated flour in order to be safe.
