Four supermarkets have withdrawn products from their shelves as it emerged that 700,000 eggs from Dutch farms implicated in a contamination scare had been distributed to Britain. The Food Standards Agency and Food Standards Scotland are committed to ensuring that food is safe, and that UK consumers have food they can trust. However, a senior representative for the British egg industry said that UK supermarkets were “operating to double standards” by using cheaper, foreign-sourced eggs for processed products. The European commission said on Monday that British food safety authorities had been alerted over the weekend that eggs imported from Germany could be dangerous. Which egg products have been withdrawn?
