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

Authorities acted to resolve this. They announced a multi-nation recall of two million eggs to address the situation. DutchReview reported that supermarkets in the Netherlands also pulled eggs with potential salmonella. The recall aims to pull two million eggs from shops after over 300 people got unwell from the stock.
