Why Can You Eat Raw Egg Whites In Icing?
Raw egg whites can be safely eaten in icing because the sugar and/or other ingredients in the icing help to inhibit bacterial growth that could potentially cause illness. Additionally, modern methods of egg production and processing have greatly reduced the risk of salmonella contamination, making the consumption of raw egg whites less risky. However, it is important to use fresh, high-quality eggs and to store the icing properly to minimize any potential risks.
