Egg warning issued
NZPA-Reuter London People who eat British eggs risk food poisoning and should shun eggbased products such as mayonnaise and salad dressing, the Junior Minister of Health, Edwina
Currie, said yesterday. “We do warn people now that most of the egg production in this country sadly is now infected with salmonella,” she told reporters. “We would strongly
advise against using raw egg, mayonnaise and dressings ... they are not a good idea any more,” she said. Health officials believe the salmonella bacteria came from infected poultry feed.
