SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - German dioxin contamination eggs exported to UK

Eggs from German farms where animal feed has been contaminated by dioxins have found their way into processed products destined for British food.The EU executive said 14 tonnes of the liquid food had been exported to the UK but stressed there was a very low risk to human health.The UK's Food Standards Agency agreed, saying the eggs would have become diluted with other products.The FSA said it was trying to trace the shipment in the UK.

It said that following the distribution of affected eggs to the Netherlands they were mixed with non-contaminated eggs to make pasteurised liquid egg.
