Are pasteurized eggs called hygenic eggs in Thailand?

[Hal65]

Asking because I see a lot of cartons advertising "hygenic eggs." Important to me because I need pasteurized eggs (actually the whites) for a no bake recipe. In the US about 1/10,000 eggs has salmonella; I'm guessing Thailand is higher than that.

In short, no.

They are simply washed better, kept under temperature controlled conditions all the way to the store, and are inspected for small cracks which might let salmonella in.

If you want pasteurised egg, look for these:

I've never seen those in Pattaya, Makro may have something if I'm lucky though. I'll check them out.

CP FreshMart.  A few hundred branches across Thailand.

It interesting that in the US eggs are washed and then stored refrigerated.

In Europe (and very sure in Thailand) eggs are NOT washed and stored without refrigeration.

Washing removes a natural coating that prevents the egg to be infected with bacteria.

If you wash them you have to store refrigerated.
