Aldi--a discount supermarket chain with over 10,000 stores in 18 countries--has stopped selling eggs at more than 4,000 stores in Germany. The reason? Some eggs were found to be contaminated with insecticides.
In Belgium and the Netherlands last month, insecticide fipronil were found in some eggs. This led to the temporary closure of some poultry farms, along with retailers stopping the sale of eggs. Fipronil is believed to be a toxic health hazard, according to the World Health Organization.
