I think salmonella from a UK egg is incredibly rare now. Pregnant women are advised not too but they're advised to eat well done steak too:

All UK chickens are vaccinated against salmonella. Not sure if it's an EU-wide practice but it's universal in the UK.

Yes. The lion stamp means that effectively. I think it was a national initiative: Edwina Curry took the rap. In all the EU stuff slung about lately, eggs never get mentioned.

Unusual action for a conservative, however.
