Food Safety Tip
Raw eggs are one of the major causes of food poisoning outbreaks in recent years. Salmonella can be found both on the outside and inside of eggs.
Dirty eggs obviously carry a much higher risk of contamination and are now illegal for sale, but be careful when using home grown eggs. Salmonella can still exist inside a healthy-looking egg.
If selling any product that contains raw eggs, ensure that it is kept under strict temperature control, make small quantities, and dispose of the excess at the end of the day.
