Organic poultry farms locked in Germany and the Netherlands
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dutch and German organic poultry farms are locked because of dioxin
contamination in animal feed, according to German and Dutch
authorities. It involves 8 farms in the Netherlands and 19 farms in
Germany that cannot sell their eggs for at least a week.
The dioxin infection has been caused by contaminated corn from the
Ukraine. The grains have been processed in organic poultry feed by
several feed companies, which in turn supplied the feed to several
German layer farms.
According to TrusQ, a cooperation between feed manufacturers in the
field of food safety, the damage could be several hundred-thousands Euros.
