It is a common infection, with over 200,000 cases reported each year. Egg whites are cooked when they are between 144 to 149 degrees. The yolk of the egg is cooked when it is between 149 and 158 degrees. The whole egg is cooked when it is between 144 and 158 degrees. The bacteria can be killed instantly with an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
