Which disease is most commonly spread from undercooked or raw eggs?

1. E.coli infection

2. Salmonellosis

3. Botulism

4. Hepatitis A

The correct answer is: Salmonellosis

The incorrect options are A, C, and D. Although E. Coli food infections can be caused by bacteria, which are sometimes present in raw poultry products, that is not the same as correctly answering the question. Additionally, botulism is usually caused by undercooked meat and canned foods, not eggs. Hepatitis A is also mainly transmitted through contaminated food or water, but not specifically raw eggs. The most common disease spread by undercooked or raw eggs is salmonellosis, which is caused by the bacteria salmonella. Therefore, option B is the most accurate answer.
