A salmonella infection wave in the UK has claimed the life of one person. Hundreds of people got sick. Health experts believe imported eggs were responsible. They issued a Class I recall, the top risk category. The recall covers shipments sent to England, Wales, and Scotland. Health officials urged pregnant women to stay away from runny eggs. Children under five should also avoid them too.
A deli in Carmarthenshire reassured customers that its eggs are unaffected. The shop buys from local farms. Inspectors examine these farms weekly. Local shoppers can still buy them. They pose no health threat.
