BRUSSELS, Aug. 10-- Several European countries are affected by fipronil-contaminated eggs, causing millions of eggs to be removed from shelves in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. So far, contaminated eggs from the Netherlands have been found in Belgium, Germany, France and Britain. France's agriculture ministry confirmed that 13 batches of Dutch eggs contaminated with the insecticide fipronil were delivered to France between July 11 and July 26. Investigations are being carried out to assess where the concerned products have ended up. |
