It is highly recommended that all supermarkets and stores that sell eggs across the European continent recall their eggs. Apparently the insecticide Fipronil was possibly mixed with a cleaning fluid that is commonly used in the chicken coops, and therefore could present a health risk to any and all European residents who consume eggs. It is also said that it can be very unlikely that any health risk is part of this. It should be known that this accident happened but don’t fear for your life.

Key Takeaways:

• Millions of eggs were removed from European shelves, due to an incident of insecticide contamination.
• Fipronil, the insecticide, is believed to have been inadvertently mixed with a cleaning product regularly used to keep chicken coops clean.
• While the Food Standards Agency does not expect the eggs to constitute a health risk, food items made with the eggs, like egg salad sandwiches, could.

“Some of the contaminated egg products will have had a short shelf life and will have already been consumed”
