Look for the Lion Quality mark on the egg shell and egg box - it shows that the eggs have been produced to the highest standards of food safety
Buy eggs from a reputable retailer where they will have been transported and stored at the correct temperature (below 20°C)
Keep eggs refrigerated after purchase
Store eggs in their box and, as eggs are porous, away from strong-smelling foods
Make sure you use eggs by the 'best before' date shown on the egg or box - for Lion Quality eggs, this guarantees that they are fresher than required by law
Wash hands before and after handling eggs
Discard dirty or cracked eggs
Eat cooked egg dishes as soon as possible after cooking or store in a fridge
