Nulaid’s ‘Safe Eggs’ Pasteurised for Protection
Nulaid’s pasteurised ‘Safe Eggs’ offer a long shelf life and peace of mind. Safe Eggs are SA’s only pasteurised eggs and have two major advantages over normal shell eggs – namely they are bacteria free, therefore protect against foodborne illnesses, most notably salmonellosis, and secondly they have an extended shelf life of up to 56 days at ambient temperature.
Nulaid’s pasteurised ‘Safe Eggs’ offer a long shelf life and peace of mind. Safe Eggs are SA’s only pasteurised eggs and have two major advantages over normal shell eggs – namely they are bacteria free, therefore protect against foodborne illnesses, most notably salmonellosis, and secondly they have an extended shelf life of up to 56 days at ambient temperature.
This is according to Quantum Foods executive, Adel van der Merwe, who says that the eggs are ‘pasteurised for protection’ using a method of killing any bad bacteria without boiling the eggs, using technologically advanced heating units ensuring safe eggs, which are produced by hens fed an all grain diet.
Van der Merwe says that while normal unpasteurised shell eggs are safe to eat when fully cooked, pregnant women, children, older adults and those with weakened immune systems that are more susceptible to salmonella infections, will benefit most from choosing pasteurised eggs.
She continues: “Some of our best loved foods (such as chocolate mousse, lemon meringue, mayonnaise and other bases for other dressings and sauces) require the use of raw eggs in recipes therefore avid cooks, caterers, health fanatics, restaurateurs and anyone that uses eggs in a preparation, that will be consumed uncooked will also benefit from using Safe Eggs.”
Omega-3 is an essential nutrient in our diet. The European Food Safety Association (EFSA) recently confirmed that daily intake of Omega-3 is important for general brain, eye and heart health.
However, van der Merwe points out that eggs are a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids only when hens consume diets high in Omega-3 oils.
Nulaid, which recently acquired Safe Eggs, has now re-launched under the Nulaid brand. The pasteurised eggs are available at various Checkers stores in Gauteng, Western Cape and KwaZulu Natal. Go to www.nulaid.co.za for more information.
