I know we shouldn't eat raw eggs, ive had no problems with soft poached eggs or anything like that. but im not sure, i think as long as the egg is cooked it is fine. (but dont quote me on that  )

I'm pretty sure it's meant to be thoroughly cooked. That said, i had soft yolks and was fine. But there is a minute chance of contracting salmonella

i dont think i would have eggs benedict, as its made with raw eggs, and then it tends to sit all day (if you are getting from a cafe). mind you i dont like egg based sauces anyway...so im probably bias..lol

I've had eggs bene a few times, and I just ask them to cook the eggs well - usually end up with hard yolks but I don't really mind

Hang on I just checked with my friend who is a chef and she confirmed the eggs in the sauce are cooked right through....so as long as it is all fresh then no worries...just her thoughts...

I had soft poached eggs all through my pregnancy!
Paws, if you ask them to cook them fresh then they should by fine! that one thing I made sure they did (I asked for everything to be made fresh for me, most places didnt seem to mind'

I have been reading the same thing about soft eggs too so have been avoiding them (even though runny yolks are the best!).
According to the NZ Food Safety website, pregnant women should have firm cooked eggs.. List is here:

Raw/undercooked egg is a salmonella risk. Salmonella can cause miscarriage, premature or still birth.

thanks for that! i thought it was harmful to baby, but someone else had said that there was no risk to baby, only us getting sick.... better to be safe anyway i reckon, i will be sticking to hard boiled eggs if i eat any eggs that is.... its only a short time to be without the food that we cant eat anyway... like deli meat... (which i have been craving this time around!) come september i can!!! woohoo!

I think it would be the way the meat is prepared, and it is left sitting waiting for orders jax
