Egggate: Belgium says Dutch found tainted eggs back in November
Belgium says Dutch found tainted eggs back in November
By Lorne Cook | AP August 9, 2017
BRUSSELS — Dutch authorities knew as far back as November that some eggs in the country were contaminated with an insecticide and they failed to notify their European partners at the time, Belgium’s agriculture minister said Wednesday.
The inspector general of the Dutch food safety authority rejected the claim, but conceded in a written statement that the authority received an anonymous tip in November about the illegal use of pesticide to disinfect stalls.
However Rob van Lint added that, at the time, “there was not a single indication that Fipronil could also be in eggs.”

Millions of eggs recalled in Europe over toxicity fears
The eggheads didn't think that their little prank would be exposed, I mean feeding poison to chickens results in poisonous eggs and chicken meat.
