I would like to make some mayo at home, but i am afraid of salmonela. how to avoid it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't leave it out: Salmonella infections can occur due to undercooked eggs or spoiled egg products - like mayonnaise, especially when left out in warm/hot temperatures. If you make home made Mayo - be sure to use fresh eggs, refrigerate it promptly, and dispose of unused portion when beyond recommended shelf life. Take Care!
