Tainted-eggs scandal reaches Italy
Italy said Monday it has found traces of fipronil in two eggs samples, making it the latest country hit by the Europe-wide insecticide scandal, while a batch of tainted frozen omelettes was also withdrawn. The two positive samples were from a total of 114 samples so far tested. Separately, a regional official said a batch of frozen omelettes containing traces of fipronil had been withdrawn from sale in Milan.
