Under fives and Pregnant Women Told to Avoid Runny Eggs When Eating Out Over Salmonella Risk The recent salmonella outbreak in the UK has highlighted a long standing concern: the vulnerability of under fives, pregnant women, and those with compromised immune systems to food poisoning.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) warns these groups to avoid runny eggs in restaurants and cafes due to the risk of contamination.
This outbreak, which has seen over 200 cases linked to a single strain, is "unusually large and rapidly increasing," according to Ian Young.
