Ingredient brands and substitutions can change allergen content. Always check the labels on the products you buy.

Cook eggs until both the white and the yolk are firm, and cook meat, poultry and seafood until steaming hot throughout.
Use pasteurised milk, yoghurt and cheese. Soft and surface-ripened cheeses are only suitable when cooked until steaming hot.
Avoid pre-prepared salads, deli meats, pâté, raw sprouts and cold smoked or raw seafood while pregnant, and wash all produce well.
Refrigerate leftovers within two hours, keep them at or below 5°C, and reheat once until steaming hot throughout.
Bake until the egg is fully set — no liquid egg in the centre.
