raw eggs.... food poisoning ???

[jchandler]

is it safe to give an 18mth old cake mixture even if it has raw eggs in ?? not alot, just a little on spoon? think ive made a huge mistake!!! please help.

As long as the egg is ok, your 18 month old will be. And when was the last time you or anyone you knew got ill from eating a raw egg?

im hearing you, but still very worried as baby was very difficult to settle tonight when usually she goes straight off.

Oh I hope for your peace of mind she is ok. But even if she isn't, it could be anything, and probably is rather than the raw egg. I have let my children lick the spoon at that sort of age and never had any problems.

Oh I always let dd lick the bowl. It's the best bit!

I agree that it is rare for eggs to carry food poisoning now.

Salmonella is the most common food poisoning with raw eggs. It shows symptoms from 8 hours after the food being eaten. How long ago did you let her eat it? If less than 8 hours I am sure she is just being fussy and is not ill

only 4 hours ago
