Rachel may have just broken the law on the air

ARGH!



I went to Culinary School in New York and, as part of the program, was (20 years ago) a certified food handler in that state.


At that time it was illegal to serve raw eggs such as the one in Rachel's drink.

It maybe that the health code has changed since that time or that because she consumed it herself, and did not serve it to another, the law may not apply.



As a side note, if she had added the egg yolk and the lemon juice first the acid would have helped kill any salmonella that might have been in the egg white. This does not have any bearing on the possible violation in the health code but it would have been a little safer for her to consume if prepared that way.

Also, I think it is/was a crazy law made by people who didn't really understand what it was they were legislating.
