The health scare and a slew of allegations surrounding it have resulted into what is now being termed as the ‘Dutch Egg Scandal’. The Dutch food standards agency NOVA places eggs in batches identified with codes and the details of several batches have been released. Dutch eggs have been taken off retail in Germany, Britain, Sweden, Belgium, Switzerland and France. The eggs’ contamination was discovered in the Netherlands at poultry farms. The investigation is focussed on two companies for now – Poultry Vision, a pest control company in Belgium and Dutch poultry farm cleaning company Chickfriend that allegedly purchased the treatment from Poultry Vision.
