What is this? Some eggs may have a tiny amount of a medicine called diclazuril. This can happen if the chickens ate feed with this medicine.
What's happening? Eggs from Ukraine, sold through Slovakia, had more diclazuril than allowed. This was found in Latvia and Slovakia.
Does this affect me? If you bought eggs from these countries, you might have some at home.
What should I do? Do not eat these eggs. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you feel unwell after eating eggs.
