Vulnerable people are being warned not to eat under-cooked or runny eggs when they are eating out because of the developing salmonella outbreak.
由于沙门氏菌的爆发，弱势群体被警告在外出就餐时不要吃未煮熟或流淌的鸡蛋。
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) told the BBC the under fives, over 65s, women who are pregnant and those with health conditions should avoid them along with freshly-made products that might contain uncooked eggs, such as mayonnaise, souffle and hollandaise sauce.
英国食品标准局 (FSA) 告诉 BBC，5 岁以下、65 岁以上、孕妇和有健康问题的女性应避免食用这些产品以及可能含有生鸡蛋的新鲜产品，例如蛋黄酱、蛋奶酥和荷兰酱。
But the FSA said well-cooked eggs in restaurants, cafes and from takeaways were fine to eat.
但英国食品安全局表示，餐馆、咖啡馆和外卖店里的煮熟的鸡蛋是可以吃的。
It comes after the UK Health Security Agency declared a national outbreak of salmonella food poisoning after one person died and hundreds more fell ill.
此前，英国卫生安全局宣布全国爆发沙门氏菌食物中毒，造成一人死亡、数百人患病。
It is thought imported eggs or dishes containing them are behind the outbreak.
据认为，进口鸡蛋或含有鸡蛋的菜肴是此次疫情爆发的罪魁祸首。
FSA chief scientific adviser Ian Young said: "If people are eating out or consuming eggs or egg-containing products from cafes and restaurants then for those people in particular who are young, elderly, pregnant or vulnerable, it's important to make sure that any eggs or egg products that you consume in those settings have been very well cooked."
英国食品安全局首席科学顾问伊恩·杨（Ian Young）表示：“如果人们外出就餐或在咖啡馆和餐馆消费鸡蛋或含鸡蛋产品，那么对于年轻人、老年人、孕妇或弱势群体来说，确保在这些环境中消费的鸡蛋或蛋制品都经过充分煮熟非常重要。”
He described the outbreak as "unusually large and rapidly increasing", and added that "people need to be careful".
他将疫情描述为“异常规模且迅速增加”，并补充说“人们需要小心”。
But he reiterated the message that it was fine for people to buy British eggs from supermarkets as chickens bred here are vaccinated against common strains of salmonella.
但他重申了这一信息，即人们可以从超市购买英国鸡蛋，因为这里饲养的鸡都接种了常见沙门氏菌菌株的疫苗。
"There is no link to those eggs to this current outbreak," he added.
他补充说：“这些鸡蛋与当前的疫情没有任何联系。”
Mark Williams, chief executive of the British Egg Industry Council, said eggs from Britain were safe to eat when runny, even for vulnerable people, and were widely available in restaurants and cafés.
英国鸡蛋工业委员会首席执行官马克·威廉姆斯表示，来自英国的鸡蛋在流淌时可以安全食用，即使对于弱势群体来说也是如此，并且在餐馆和咖啡馆里随处可见。
"Customers who want to enjoy a runny egg should simply ask whether British Lion eggs are being used," he said.
“想要享用流鸡蛋的顾客只需询问是否使用英国狮子蛋，”他说。
There have been over 200 cases in the UK linked to this outbreak. The majority are across England.
英国已有 200 多例与此次疫情相关的病例。 大多数人分布在英格兰各地。
Genetic testing suggests all the infections are part of the same outbreak and there are similarities with previous outbreaks involving imported eggs.
基因检测表明，所有感染都是同一次疫情的一部分，并且与之前涉及进口鸡蛋的疫情有相似之处。
Investigations into individual cases also suggest the eateries involved were buying eggs from abroad.
对个别案件的调查还表明，涉案餐馆从国外购买鸡蛋。
Salmonella are a family of bacteria that typically live harmlessly in the digestive tract of animals including cattle, pigs and chicken - which is why eggs and poultry are among foods commonly associated with the infection.
沙门氏菌是一类细菌，通常无害地生活在牛、猪和鸡等动物的消化道中，这就是为什么鸡蛋和家禽是通常与感染相关的食物之一。
People can catch it by eating contaminated food that has not been cooked properly, or cross contamination after mixing raw and cooked food in the kitchen or coming into contact with infected animals.
人们可以通过食用未正确煮熟的受污染食物、在厨房混合生熟食物或接触受感染动物后交叉污染而感染病毒。
It can then cause stomach cramps, diarrhoea, vomiting or fever. In most cases people recover without further help but older people, babies and people with weakened immune systems are at greatest risk of severe disease.
然后它会导致胃痉挛、腹泻、呕吐或发烧。 在大多数情况下，人们无需进一步帮助即可康复，但老年人、婴儿和免疫系统较弱的人患严重疾病的风险最大。
Hospital care with fluids and sometimes antibiotics can help in these cases.
在这些情况下，医院的液体治疗和有时抗生素治疗可能会有所帮助。
Anyone who is concerned is being advised to contact their GP or out of hours service in the first instance.
建议任何有疑虑的人首先联系他们的全科医生或非工作时间服务机构。
