A salmonella outbreak linked to bad eggs made at least 306 people sick in Belgium. Patients ate bad eggs. The sickness spread as people had products containing contaminated eggs. News outlets including Euronews.com, The Independent, and The Brussels Times detailed the outbreak.

Authorities took action to fix this. They ordered a multi-nation recall of two million eggs to address the situation. DutchReview reported that stores in the Netherlands also removed eggs with potential salmonella. The recall works to pull two million eggs from stores after over 300 people got ill from the stock.
