More eggs contaminated with traces of an insecticide have been discovered as not only Dutch farms but also a German facility have been found to be affected. More eggs from the Netherlands contaminated by the insecticide fipronil are surfacing in German states, after millions of eggs in the Netherlands and Belgium have already been recalled. Officials said on Wednesday evening that it is possible that affected eggs were also delivered to Hesse and Bavaria, and contaminated eggs were also discovered in Bremen. But an association for Dutch poultry farmers has condemned the withdrawal of all Dutch eggs from stores. “All Dutch eggs that are now on the market are guaranteed to be free of fipronil,” said the association’s chair, Eric Hubers, on Dutch radio on Thursday.
