Can you eat over easy eggs while pregnant?

Question

I’ve been looking online and can only find info for the UK (they say it’s okay). I LOVE over easy, sunny side up, or poached eggs but have seen some articles online saying to avoid it so to the risk for salmonella. Does anyone r know what the recommendations are for the US?

Answer

In the US the recommendation is to play it safe cook eggs fully. You’re not SUPPOSED to, because there is a teeny risk of salmonella. It’s so rare that I just cut back on eating them as often as I’d like, but I’m for sure indulging in some Eggs Benedict with runny yolk on Easter.

Answer

Oh sorry I didn’t see the us part. Depends are the eggs pasteurized there??

Answer

We can in Norway, but eggs here are salmonella free.

Answer

When pregnant or made for young children, eggs are supposed to be cooked through, meaning the yolks aren’t runny. In the US there is a risk of salmonella, but it’s minimal. Just like they recommend heating up lunch meat due to listeria, also minimal risk but CAN happen. 
I LOVE my eggs cooked over medium (white completely done but yolk runny). I’m 10 weeks and so far haven’t eaten eggs because I can’t eat them with the yolks done lol.

Answer

I think you have to cook eggs fully in the US - we vaccinate our chickens against salmonella in the UK but I don’t think you guys do.

Answer

I believe it’s fine if they are pasteurized
