You can make/drink "safe eggnog." Basically what that means is that you make/drink eggnog that uses pasteurized eggs or egg substitute. Using a pasteurized product means that no further cooking is necessary. Eggnog sold in grocery stores has been prepared with pasteurized eggs. Or you can make/drink eggnog that cooks the egg and milk mixture to 160 degrees Fahrenheit, then you refrigerate it immediately.

Homemade eggnog used to be made with raw eggs. However, since it was discovered that a dangerous bacteria, salmonella, could be acquired through raw eggs, people were warned not to make it that way any more. The commercial eggnog that you purchase in the dairy case around the holidays is made from egg powder or egg substitute.

If you use the eggnog mix from the store there are no uncooked eggs in it so it is safe. If you make homemade look around to find raw pasteurized eggs. Then it is safe.

If you make homeade eggnog with regular eggs, it isn't okay. But, you can get pasteurized eggs that are safe to have raw. Eggnog that is sold in stores uses pasteurized eggs and it is therefore safe to drink.

Some people (like boxers) eat raw eggs it's a source for protein but you have to be sure that the eggs are super fresh, or else you would get salmonella

Its pastuerized. A lot of people eat raw eggs, mostly your big meat heads for protien. Just be sure not to eat one with castor oil like lard @ss hogan did in the movie Stand By Me, remember the barfalon at the blueberry pie convention!!!

the eggs are cooked because they would go rotten and make people sick as hell if they were put into eggnog raw so its okay to drink eggnog

karatemam it is salmonella.. dont drink it because the chicken nowadays has fertilizers unlike before .. but if you have farm and the chicken dont have fertilizers and medicines drink/take.. i think that's ok.. i remember when i was small, my mom will put an eggyolk(only) and mix with hot rice and i like it for my breakfast with bacon or ham..because we do have chicken in our backyard
