The Czech State Veterinary Administration ordered an immediate recall of approximately 2.67 million eggs from Poland which may have been sold at Tesco, Albert, and Kaufland supermarket chains due to the threat of salmonella. So far, hygiene officers in the Czech Republic have no specific information about salmonella cases linked to the Polish eggs.
Czech poultry farmers have been recording a sharp increase in demand for eggs, following a salmonella outbreak in Europe linked to eggs from Poland. However, Czech farmers are unable to meet the growing demand due to their own low production.
