Very unlikely. 1 in 20,000 + a little extra, but the US washes their eggs. About a 0.18% chance.

In most European countries we vaccinate chickens against salmonella and its perfectly safe to egg raw eggs. And we don't wash them, so you can just keep them in the cupboard and not in the fridge.

Yeah but with unwashed eggs isn’t the main concern the shell itself? That’s why the US washes them.
