Raw and lightly cooked eggs (and dishes containing raw eggs e.g. home-made mayonnaise, mousse and ice-cream) are best avoided during pregnancy as there is a risk they may contain salmonella bacteria, which can cause food poisoning. Cooking poultry and meat thoroughly will also reduce the risk of salmonella.
