Can my 2 year old son eat soft boiled egg?
I really wanna know this too for my 2 yr old! Will have alook online! JUST HAD THIS REPLY FROM FOOD STANDARDS AGENCY – GOVT GUIDELINES… Keeping eggs safe Eating raw eggs, or eggs with runny yolks, or any food containing these, can cause food poisoning especially for anyone who is: very young (babies to toddlers) elderly pregnant already unwell This is because some eggs contain salmonella bacteria, which can cause serious illness, especially for anyone in these groups. So if you are preparing food for anyone in these groups always make sure eggs are cooked until the white and yolk are solid. If you want to choose the safest option, you could use pasteurised egg for all foods that won’t be cooked or will be only lightly cooked. And the safest option, for example for caterers preparing food for these vulnerable groups, is to always use pasteurised egg.
