dangerous foods in terms of food-borne illness, according to Nelken. Additionally, three out of 10 Americans still eat their eggs in styles that are undercooked such as over easy and sunnyside up and seven of 10 Americans eat scrambled eggs, which can also pose a risk if they are served softly scrambled.

"These new statistics show Americans continue to hold taste and tradition over risk of illness or worse," says Nelken. "While eggs are nutritionally dense and a great food item, there is a great risk of contracting Salmonella poisoning from not only undercooking, but cross contamination in the kitchen."

Nelken further explains that consumers and restaurants must realize individuals in high risk groups, including pregnant women; children under age ten; those 55 and older and even those with temporarily compromised immune systems, who eat undercooked foods can experience long-term dire consequences and not just one bad night. He cautions, this is a lesson you don't want to learn first-hand. Illnesses such as those from Salmonella can be virtually eliminated if precautions are taken and foods are prepared and cooked properly.

    Some tips from Nelken to ensure food safety when prepping and cooking:

    4.  Use separate serving dishes.  Cross contamination is easy to c
