Enjoy eggs safely
Eggs are a healthy, nutritious part of many Australians' diet. Like all 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
- always use clean eggs, free from dirt and cracks
- keep hands, surfaces and utensils clean & dry before & after handling eggs
- separate whites from yolks using an egg separator
Eggs need care
- don't serve foods containing raw eggs to children under 2 years, pregnant women, people older than 70 years and people with lower immune system function
- consume eggs within the recommended date on the carton
- to minimise risk, cook eggs until the white is completely firm and yolk begins to thicken
