Eggs produced under the British Lion code can be served raw or lightly cooked to all groups in society, including those that are more vulnerable to infection

‘Salmonella infection in British Lion stamped eggs, is no more a threat, making it safe for pregnant women and those prone to infection, reports the Food Safety authority in UK’

Now it is proved that those eggs carry only a “very low” risk of salmonella poisoning. The report by the ACMSF said, "The ’very low’ risk level means that eggs produced under the Lion code, or produced under demonstrably equivalent comprehensive schemes, can be served raw or lightly cooked to all groups in society, including those that are more vulnerable to infection, in both domestic and commercial settings, including care homes and hospitals.”
