Cracking quality Cartons of British produce is safest bet

British eggs are classed among the safest in the world to eat, meaning that the majority of those produced by UK farmers can be eaten raw or lightly cooked with little chance that they could cause food poisoning.

Shoppers should look for a British Lion mark on the egg boxes and on the eggs themselves because it means they have been produced under the Lion Code, which are a set of strict food safety controls.
