Vulnerable people in the UK, including children under five, adults over 65, pregnant women and those with existing health conditions, have been advised to avoid undercooked or runny eggs when eating at restaurants, cafes and takeaways amid a growing salmonella outbreak.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) issued the precautionary advice after the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) declared a national outbreak linked to more than 200 cases and one reported death. Imported eggs or food products containing imported eggs are suspected to be behind the outbreak.
