Egg safety exposed: understanding the risks of imports and the assurance of British Lion
With Salmonella cases linked to imported eggs putting egg safety firmly in the spotlight for food businesses and their customers, join food safety experts Sterling Crew and Dr Lisa Ackerley for a practical discussion on what EHPs should be looking for when assessing egg sourcing and food safety practices.
The webinar will explore the current outbreak, the importance of egg sourcing and provenance, and the essential controls food businesses should have in place, from supplier assurance and traceability to storage, handling and preparation.
It will also look at the world-leading food safety standards behind British Lion eggs and egg products, including mandatory Salmonella vaccination, rigorous controls and traceability throughout the supply chain. British Lion eggs, unlike imported eggs, are recognised by the Food Standards Agency as safe to be served runny or even raw to vulnerable groups, demonstrating the exceptionally low Salmonella risk achieved under the scheme.
A practical, expert-led session to help EHPs understand the risks, recognise best practice, challenge poor sourcing and support food businesses in maintaining high standards of egg safety.
