Europe's Egg-Contamination Scandal Spreads As Far As Hong Kong
Tainted eggs have been found in at least 16 countries in Europe. Millions of eggs have been pulled from European shelves over fears they are contaminated with fipronil, which is used to kill insects.
The scope of Europe's contaminated egg scandal is expanding, reaching as far as Hong Kong.
Farms in four countries — Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and France — have been blocked from selling eggs after detection of the pesticide fipronil, EU trade and agriculture spokesman Daniel Rosario told reporters Friday.
