Eggs

Current Government advice is that eggs be kept under refrigeration below 8ºC

You can reduce the risk of food poisoning from eggs by:

• checking eggs are clean and not cracked when you buy them
• keeping eggs in the fridge
• using eggs within the 'best before' date. This is because eggs can contain salmonella bacteria, which could start to multiply after this date
• washing your hands, utensils and kitchen surfaces before and after contact with eggs or foods containing them
