A couple of weeks ago I blogged about the importance of using pasteurized eggs in culinary preparations like mayonnaise, Hollandaise sauce and Caesar salad dressings, and how you can make your own pasteurized eggs at home in the microwave.
If you're not up for that, a company called Davidson's Safest Choice sells pasteurized eggs through grocery store chains around the country. You can use their store locator to find a store near you that carries Davidson's pasteurized eggs.

Better yet, fill out their survey on http://www.safeeggs.com and they will send you a bunch of coupons!
That’s true! And if there’s not currently a retailer near you that carries their products, they’ll notify you when that changes.
Unfortunately, I’ve been checking up on them for years, and they’re still not sold anywhere in New York, or in any surrounding states.
I know. They seem to cover a lot of places, but not everywhere. Which doesn’t mean you can’t still get them, you just have to hunt around some. Or, you can always pasteurize your own eggs in the microwave.
i pasturize eggs everyday
I’m confused. On the USDA website it states that all consumable egg products are required by law to be pasteurized. Is this not true or did I misread?

I think I’ve un-befuddled myself. The law doesn’t apply to shell eggs.
In regard to Lesley’s comment, “egg products” means products that are made with eggs but aren’t eggs–in other words, ‘Egg Beaters’ and other things you buy in any container that isn’t an egg shell.
Egg products are made commercially for foodservice companies. They’re not widely available at retail.
From what I read, salmonella is in the egg WHITES, not the yolks!!
I buy the eggs mentioned and think they taste great. I love poached eggs, homemade ceaser dressing and I always lick the spatula when baking at home so they make sense for me. Plus I don’t really trust that I’m killing bacteria by getting to the percise temps when trying to “pasteurize” at home, but that is just me.
I’ve gotten some e-mails recently from Safest Choice because they have become available in New York and many other states, check out the store locator on their web site, safeeggs.com.
Also, if salmonella is in the whites it is in the yolks too. That means the hen had salmonella and passed it on to the inside of the egg. Salmonella is increasing found on the inside of eggs but can still be found on the outside as well. Pastuerized shell eggs like Safest Choice remove bacteria from both inside and out.
