I got a carton of egg whites today and on the back was a recipe for a smoothie with them in it. Are the egg whiles that come in a carton in the clear from giving me salmonella and other such nasties if I put them in a smoothie raw like that? Thanks!

    Most carton egg whites are pasteurized, so yes. Although, I generally don't worry about eggs in general, the odds of an undercooked egg at home making you sick are astronomically low.

    I agree. I eat a ton of egg whites, although I haven't put them in a smoothie yet. But I don't think there's a risk - it's actually on my 'must try' list.
