Food dos and donts

Eggs

Eggs must be thoroughly cooked until the whites and yolks are solid. This prevents the risk of salmonella food poisoning, which is unlikely to harm your baby but it can give you a severe bout of sickness and diarrhoea.

Avoid foods that contain raw and undercooked eggs, such as homemade mayonnaise. If you wish to have dishes that contain raw or partially cooked eggs, consider using pasteurised liquid egg.
