Are Raw Eggs Safe for Tiramisu During Bird Flu Concerns

Asked Feb 16, 2025 by Deb B.

I wanted to make the latest Tiramisu recipe, and my partner advised me not to. He said that raw eggs can transfer the bird flu virus. What is your take on the safety of raw eggs? Is there any substitute for the Tiramisu recipe in the latest issue of Milk Street?

      Hello again Deb -

      Since the last message I sent you, readers have sent in very favorable reviews after making the Tiramisú. If you have a trusted source of good eggs, perhaps you can still give it a try. You have to do what feels best for you though.
