Enjoy eggs safely

Eggs are a nutritious part of many Australians' diet, but like all fresh perishable food they need careful handling to keep them safe. 
 

Keep eggs cold

• keep eggs in the fridge after purchase
• keep eggs in their carton
• don't eat food meant to be stored in the fridge if left out for more than 2 hours

 

Keep it clean

• discard cracked or dirty eggs
• keep hands, surfaces and utensils clean & dry before & after handling eggs
• separate whites from yolks using an egg separator
