After an outbreak caused by salmonella enteritidis (SE) of which home-made mayonnaise and remoulade sauce were found to be the cause, SE was detected in ten of the remaining eggs. Subsequently 409 eggs of the next shipment from the same outlet were examined bacteriologically. Of 70 of the eggs examined, SE was found in 5 egg yolk samples and in 3 egg white samples as well as in 2 of 7 pooled shell samples. Five out of 35 pooled whole egg samples comprising a total of 349 eggs were likewise positive for SE. The isolates belonged to the phage types 4 and 7 carried the virulence plasmid pRQ29.
