IMPORTED EGGS POSE SALMONELLA RISK


According to a food watchdog, salmonella is present in one in every thirty boxes of imported eggs, bought from corner shops and discount stores in Britain. Apparently Spanish eggs have the highest rate of salmonella in Europe. The Food Standards Authority stressed that the majority of eggs we buy in this country are salmonella-free but warned vulnerable people like the elderly, pregnant women and sick people to cook eggs thoroughly to reduce any risk of food poisoning.
