A salmonella outbreak in the UK has claimed the life of one person. Hundreds of people were infected. Authorities confirmed imported eggs were responsible. They put out a Class I recall, the top risk category. The recall applies to shipments sent to England, Wales, and Scotland. Health officials advised pregnant women to steer clear of runny eggs. Children under five need to refrain from eating them too.
A deli in Carmarthenshire reassured customers that its eggs are safe. The shop sources products from local farms. Inspectors check these farms weekly. Local shoppers may continue buying them. They pose no health threat.
