Health Update: Risky recipes
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.RAW egg should be banned from magazine recipes and dried or pasteurised egg promoted instead, according to doctors from Tameside and Glossop health authority. In a survey of 13 popular magazines, they found that seven carried recipes requiring eggs that did not entail any heating at all, while a further three contained recipes in which the eggs were only partially cooked. The doctors argue in the British Medical Journal that magazine editors do not appreciate the risk of salmonella infection from eating raw eggs - not only in high- risk groups such as babies and the elderly but also in fit adults.
