Whole un-cracked eggs aren’t required to be refrigerated at retail supermarkets within Australia.
Dishes containing raw eggs as an ingredient, like raw egg mayonnaise, are considered high risk and they do require refrigeration. This is because pathogens may contaminate the raw egg when the egg is cracked.
Refer to the statement for safe egg handling strategies, including hand washing, use of a egg separator and avoidance of raw egg products by vulnerable populations
