在米饭里掺生鸡蛋的日本人为什么不会感染沙门氏菌？

正文原创翻译：

Japan consumes 337 eggs per person per year, second in the world.(Number one is Mexico.)

In the first place, the custom of eating raw eggs is a rare food culture in the world.

日本每人每年消费337个鸡蛋，位居世界第二。(第一名是墨西哥。)

首先，吃生鸡蛋的习俗是世界上罕见的饮食文化。

This is because the contamination of eggs by salmonella, one of the causes of food poisoning, is much lower in Japan than in other countries, so you can eat raw eggs without worries.

In order to bring any safe eggs to the table, it is important that the chickens that lay the eggs are not contaminated with salmonella and other food poisoning bacteria.

这是因为在日本，引起食物中毒的沙门氏菌对鸡蛋的污染比其他国家要低得多，所以你可以放心地吃生鸡蛋。

为了把安全的鸡蛋端上餐桌，重要的是下蛋的鸡不能被沙门氏菌或者其他食物中毒细菌污染。

In Japan, as a countermeasure, eggs are washed before being packed. The expiry date is 2 weeks shorter than overseas.

After purchasing, we store eggs in the refrigerator.

Freshness is important for eggs. 95% of Japanese eggs are domestically produced.

在日本，解决对策是鸡蛋在包装前要清洗。有效期比国外短两周。

买完之后，我们把鸡蛋储存在冰箱里。

新鲜对鸡蛋很重要。95%的日本鸡蛋是国内生产的。

Australia here. Salmonella from eggs is not known. Eggs are not washed and are kept unrefridgerated for weeks. I might be missing some danger.

澳大利亚的话，鸡蛋中的沙门氏菌不被了解。鸡蛋不清洗，几周不冷藏。我可能躲过了一些危险。

There’s actually two common ways to preserve eggs. Your way is to NOT wash it. Eggs have a natural coating on the shell that prevents bacteria from entering right after being laid. The second is to wash it and refrigerate it immediately. It’s been shown that the former method works the best but is somewhat unsightly.

实际上有两种常见的保存鸡蛋的方法。一种方法是不清洗。鸡蛋的外壳上有一层天然的涂层，可以防止细菌在下蛋后立即进入。第二种是将其洗净并立即冷藏。研究表明，前一种方法效果最好，但有点不美观。

Some nations innoculate their hens against salmonella(it is like a vaccine, but for bacterial infection), and other nations wash their eggs. Japan is like the US in that we wash our eggs rather than treat the hens, but both can work. The risk from unwashed eggs is that there are other less frequent infections one can get from eggs than just salmonella.

Washing does remove the egg’s cuticle though, so to be safe, they must be refrigerated.

有些国家给母鸡接种沙门氏菌疫苗(这就像疫苗一样，不过是为了防止细菌感染)，还有一些国家清洗鸡蛋。日本就像美国一样，我们洗鸡蛋，而不是处理母鸡，但两者都可以发挥作用。未经清洗的鸡蛋的风险是，除了沙门氏菌，人们还可以从鸡蛋中感染其他不太常见的疾病。

不过清洗确实会去除鸡蛋的角质层，所以为了安全起见，它们必须放在冰箱里。

When eggs are laid, they are covered in a thin coating of mucus. This quickly dries, and it creates an additional layer of protection for the contents of the egg.

In some countries, like the US and Japan, it is standard to wash off this natural coating. After which the eggs must be refrigerated.

In the US, our traditions and sense of hygiene tell us that the natural, unrefrigerated egg is dirty. I think that is the only reason we wash our eggs.

产蛋时，它们被一层薄薄的粘液覆盖着。这很快就会变干，并为鸡蛋的内容物创造了额外的保护层。

在美国和日本等一些国家，洗掉这种天然涂层是一种标准做法。在这之后，鸡蛋必须冷藏。

在美国，我们的传统和卫生意识告诉我们，未经冷藏的天然鸡蛋是脏的。我想这是我们洗鸡蛋的唯一原因。
