TEN ADVICES TO PREVENT SALMONELLA

A clean fresh egg from a healthy layer that has been collected and treated in hygienic conditions has no contamination inside. It is a safe food in origin. Nevertheless, as a “living” product it experiences some changes that can modify the quality. Thus, from laying until consumption, every single operation has to be developed properly to avoid damages in its nutritive, healthy and gastronomic qualities.

The Eggs Research Institute advises to follow the next rules for consumers’ interest.

1. Only buy eggs with the eggshell clean and intact.

2. Respect the use-by date printed in the egg cage.

3. Do not wash eggs before putting them in the fridge.

4. Set omelettes properly and keep them in the fridge.

5. Prepare mayonnaise hygienically and keep it in the fridge until you use it.


Keep your hands clean when handling food.


Surfaces, recipients, and tools in contact with food have to be clean before and after use.

6. Do not break eggs in the rim of the recipient where you are going to beat eggs.

7. Owing to hygienic reasons, the recipient where you beat eggs has to be washed after use.

8. Do not split whites from yolks with the help of the eggshell.

9. Do not leave eggs neither food made with eggs out of the fridge.


10. Always keep in the fridge food as cakes, sauces, custard, etc, and consume them before 24 hours.
