Authorities in the Netherlands ordered eggs pulled from supermarket shelves, and temporarily closed down nearly around 180 farms. Food safety agencies in Britain, France, Sweden and Switzerland have been also put on alert to check the origin of eggs sold in their stores. “At that time there was no indication of an acute danger to food safety. And what happened to the eggs that were produced.”Ducarme also said food safety controls have been boosted after contaminated eggs were discovered in Belgium last month. Almost all eggs tested in Belgium have been found to contain very low levels of the insecticide.
