I bet RFK Jr. haz zero objections to you eating raw cookie dough.

They recommend not to, not that you can't, but also a bigger problem is improper hygiene in the kitchen and of course the unbaked flour. To simplify things they also recommend cooking to certain temperatures, that often leads to overcooked and dry results, when really it's about time at a certain temperature. But yeah the FDA/CDC as it stands now is not about helping the general public and reducing impacts on the hospital system, it's apparently about being a fucking idiot.

Over a 20 year period , people like Musk and RFK are going to kill MILLIONS of people. But because it;s all indirectly, they will not see a single day in jail.

Trump killed Millions due to Covid misinformation.

Not the point of this post, but try using eggnog instead of eggs to make cookie dough, since the former is pastuerized.

The shit you buy in a carton isn't eggnog but watered down pancake batter. Real eggnog has raw eggs and nog.

It's not the eggs that are most likely to give you salmonella from raw cookie dough, it's the flour (go look at a bag of flour and you'll see "do not consume raw" written on it). Cook the flour in the oven separately first, then make your cookie dough and have at it!

The thing that actually makes raw cookie dough unsafe isn’t the eggs, which might have salmonella, but the raw flour, which might have e-coli. Surprisingly, despite the known deadliness of the eggs, the raw flour is actually more likely to kill you.

Huh. Had no idea

The chance of a commercially produced egg in the US containing any salmonella is about 1 in 10,000. The chances of one containing enough salmonella to make you sick is even more remote.
BlindGardener
So I eat 2-3 for breakfast most days and 3-6 for baking most weeks. Call it a thousand per year? So every ten years I’ll eat an egg with salmonella, most likely.
That being said the math there is dodgy because outbreaks happen in clusters.
MajorNikon
If you cook the egg to pasteurization temps the risk drops pretty much to zero
