Netherlands detected insecticide in eggs in November 2016

Belgium's agriculture minister said Wednesday that the Netherlands detected a potentially harmful insecticide in eggs in November last year, nine months before the pan-European scandal became public.

An internal Dutch report "reports the observation of the presence of fipronil in Dutch eggs at the end of November 2016," minister Denis Ducarme told a Belgian parliamentary hearing on the crisis.
