Ice cream

Aren't the eggs raw in most ice cream not store bought? I would think a lot of us will want ice cream this summer so I'm wondering if its safe. I've never heard it wasn't safe, but was just thinking that it probably has raw eggs.

I worked at a DQ as a teenager, and i know that the MIX bags they use don't contain Raw eggs, so if you stick with DQ this summer, you should be okay! I am not sure with the toppings, the cookie Dough might, but i am sure it has to be a safe grade if they

If your ice cream contains eggs, the eggs are cooked during the ice cream making process, so they would not be raw. Ice cream is fine to eat.

I don't know about ice cream, but the cake batter I eat out of the bowl before baking definitely has raw eggs and it doesn't bother me :-P I eat lots of ice cream too...no worries!

do you honestly think people would sell raw eggs in ice cream?

I was told not to make my own homemade ice cream, but anything from an ice cream shop or store bought is fine.

But then again, I ate a spoonful of brownie batter the other day....

From what I understand most "store bought" ice cream is perfectly safe. Unless it says on the label that it contains raw eggs I believe they have to be cooked!

I think the only ice cream I've heard of having raw eggs is Hagen Daaz and I'm not even sure if that's entirely true. 

I'm eating ice cream...I've been eating ice cream....and there's no way you can tell a pregnant lady she can't have ice crea

Any ice cream sold in stores or ice cream shops must use pasterized eggs, by law. So it's all good! Enjoy!

Thanks everyone. I figured it had to be safe since it seems to be a staple for pregnant women!

My mom makes all our families ice creams homemade and they do not have raw egg or any egg

Most artisanal ice cream shops will pasteurize any ice cream with eggs in it. I'd be really shocked if they didn't, especially because it kind of tastes bad if you don't pasteurize. To be completely honest, I'm pretty sure you are safe because the like

There actually is raw eggs in a lot of ice cream.  I didn't believe DH when he told me that, but it is so.  I believe anything with raw eggs sold in a normal store is pasteurized, though.  I will probably be making my own Ben & Jerry's

MMMMMM....I had my first soft ice-cream of the season today!  The little stand near us opened today.  It's one of my favorite treats!

You can even buy pasteurized regular eggs at a lot of grocery stores. They're called Safer Eggs, or something like that. I always buy them, because I'm paranoid.
