Answer ( 1 )
Salmonella can show up both on the shell and inside the egg, but the inside problem is almost always Salmonella Enteritidis that reaches the forming egg while it is still inside the hen.
Just after the egg is laid the bacteria sit mainly in the thin albumen that lines the shell membranes. As the egg ages and the yolk membrane gets weaker the cells slowly move and finally end up in the yolk where they have more nutrients.
So from a food safety view the risky spots are first the raw shell when you crack the egg and second any raw or runny yolk from an infected flock.
Cooking until the yolk and the white both reach about 71 °C, or 160 °F, will kill Salmonella no matter where it is hiding.
