Are the Eggs in Eggnog Safe?
Pasteurization is a heating process, where the food is heated to a specific temperature and held for a certain period of time. The time and temperature varies from food to food, and some foods can be processed with different methods (milk, for example, may be heated to 150°F (66°C) for 30 minutes, 161°F (72°C) for 15 seconds, or in an ultra-high-temperature process, 280°F (138°C) for 1 to 2 seconds). The time and temperature are calculated to ensure that most of the bacteria naturally present in the food are killed and to prolong the product's shelf life. |
