Text
When eating out, young children (under the age of 5), pregnant people, older adults (aged 65 years and over), and those with an underlying health condition (for example, cancer, diabetes, HIV, liver or kidney disease) or taking certain medications, such as immunosuppressants or proton pump inhibitors, should ensure any eggs they eat are thoroughly cooked.
This is because if you’re eating eggs or food that is made with fresh eggs outside of the home, these eggs may not carry the British Lion mark(opens in a new window) or be Laid in Britain assured(opens in a new window).
If you're preparing eggs at home, our guidance has not changed. Read our advice on cooking food safely(opens in a new window).
