Or has the soft eggs thing changed?

I always ate them, I don't know what the official advice is.

Nymphadora · 13/02/2010 07:25

I'm hoping they are ok!

If runny yolk then technically not OK, if hard yolk then fine. But I ate runny yolks anyway, as British eggs all come from salmonella-vaccinated hens.

I ate them runny too - but it is a risk, albeit a small one. Safer not to, but it's your call...

I wasn't like this with the others

as long as the eggs afre lion branded you can eat them anyway you like.

I think salmonella doesn't cross the placenta anyway, so the risk is that you get food poisoning, not that anything happens to the baby. I'm eating soft eggs without worrying about it.

I have always eaten eggs with the lion mark soft. Fried, with soldiers whatever.

Love them.

Thanks, am a bit out of date on do's and don'ts!

I'm eating them as long as egg have the lion mark.... one thing to note is that there is more risk of getting salmonella from touching egg shells that from eating raw eggs, so always wash your hands!

I've eaten fried runny eggs all the way through. Lots of iron in egg yolks, yum.

Eggs with red lion mark are from chickens that have been vaccinated against salmonella. No salmonella in the chickens = no salmonella in the eggs = no salmonella in you.

Oh, runny eggs! Yum!

I am not touching them with a barge pole. I have my own hens, who are all healthy but mostly hatched out myself from fertile eggs bought on eBay, so not vaccinated.

I cannot bring myself to eat any of the insipid pale yolked things you buy from the shops when I have such lovely, lovely eggs laid by my back door every day. I am getting a dab hand at tasty well-cooked omlettes though now!
