Runny eggs are back on the menu for pregnant women, pensioners and toddlers.

For the past 30 years, groups most at risk of food poisoning were told to avoid soft boiled and poached eggs.

But a new study has found that the presence of salmonella in eggs has dramatically reduced in recent years thanks to better hygiene.

The Food Standards Agency has now given the thumbs up to runny eggs, but at-risk groups should avoid them if they're imported.
