A fresh egg of a healthy layer collected and operated in hygienic conditions should not be contaminated in origin, but we have to operate them taking into account these advices to avoid toxic infections:

• Do not wash eggs before storing them in the fridge.
• Set omelettes properly and keep them in the fridge.
• Prepare mayonnaise hygienically and keep it in the fridge until you eat it.
• Do not crack eggs in the rim of the bowl where you will beat eggs.
• For hygienic reasons, the bowl of beating has to be used only for this task.
• Do not split white from yolk with the eggshell.
• Do not leave eggs or food prepared with eggs out of the fridge.
• Keep always in the fridge food as sauces, cakes, etc, and eat them before 24 hours after cooking.
