Slightly runny eggs carry a small risk of foodborne illness, primarily from Salmonella, because the yolk and white aren't fully cooked to the recommended internal temperature (160°F or 71.1°C) to kill bacteria, though the risk is minimal for healthy adults. Health authorities like the USDA and CDC advise cooking eggs until both yolk and white are firm, especially for vulnerable groups (young children, elderly, pregnant women, immunocompromised individuals) who should avoid runny eggs entirely.

You can eat raw eggs in Japan but not typically in America due to Japan's extremely strict, high-tech hygiene and inspection processes (like washing, UV treatment, and rapid processing) that drastically reduce Salmonella risk, combined with a very short shelf life (around 2 weeks) and careful handling, whereas American eggs aren't processed to the same raw-consumption standard and are refrigerated, which removes the natural protective cuticle. The risk of infection is simply much lower in Japan, making raw consumption culturally accepted and safe, unlike in the US where public health warnings remain higher for safety.
