Foods containing raw eggs
Foods that are made with raw eggs and then not cooked, or only lightly cooked, can cause food poisoning. This is because any bacteria in the eggs won't be killed.
Any of the following might contain raw eggs:
homemade mayonnaise
hollandaise and béarnaise sauces
salad dressings
ice cream
icing
mousse
tiramisu
If you are making these foods yourself, using pasteurised eggs is the safest choice.
Most commercially produced mayonnaise, salad dressings, sauces, ice cream, desserts or ready-made icing are made with pasteurised eggs. Check the label, or contact the manufacturer if you are unclear whether the food was made with pasteurised eggs.
If you're concerned about raw egg when eating out or buying food, ask the person serving you.
